So we took the long weekend to make some progress on the wings. Or more specifically the right wing. We got the right wing spar outfitted with ribs and the bottom skins about 95% riveted on. My wife and kids assisted. It was a fun family activity. In the end I think Van's directions are really good. It sure seems to me however that when it comes to the lighting kit and wiring they are not nearly as good or as clear. I spent quite a while trying to synthesize the information on the lighting kit install and the wing directions. I guess since I worked on the right wing before the left, I brought some of this upon myself. I wanted to delay taking on the stall warning assembly until later.
I am quite happy with the progress we have made over the weekend. I wish we could have finished that wing but the temperatures here in Colorado have been incredibly high for the past week and it just got too hot out at the hangar.
Here is a picture of our progress thus far on the bottom of the right wing.
