Rearrange the shop
It's turned pretty cold here in KC and I've pretty much took over the entire garage when I started building the wings. The deal was that Sandi would have her half of the garage in the winter to park her car. This weekend I rearranged the garage and consolidated everything back on my half of the garage so she could get her car in.
Didn't do any real work on the plane this weekend. I read the instructions for the flaps and reviewed the plans a bit. The ailerons are pretty much done. I need to drill the trailing edge of the right aileron and then just need to rivet them. Then I will tackle the flaps. Once the flaps are done, I'll turn my attention back to finishing the left wing details, like aileron and flap attach brackets. I hope to get quite a bit accomplished over the holiday. I'd like to get the flaps and left wing completed as much as possible so I can start on the right wing. I need to build the right wing fuel tank and then assemble the wing.
The fuselage kit is probably ready and waiting at Van's. I need to send them the remaining $600 and get it on it's way but Christmas put a dent in our checkbook along with the purchase of the engine. I'm a little behind schedule on where I wanted to be... but hey.. that's the way it goes. I guess realistically it will be late January before the wings are done and I can start on the fuselage.
