6/21/11-Day Two of the Build

We completed the wiring and running of control cables and tubing inside the wing sections today and then temporarily mounted them to the fuselage to set the wing angle of incidence and dihedral. After those were set we then fabricated the wing struts and drilled them in place. Once that was done the wings were taken into the rivet room where tomorrow we will start to rivet on the upper skins. This should take about two days to do.

Eric and Mike worked on the front of the aircraft and got the firewall fabricated, mounted the engine mount and finished up the rudder pedal assembly. Ben and I also finished the tailwheel assembly that we started yesterday. A pretty good days work!
