RV-9A Wing Construction Log

Gap fairings complete, wing ready for storage
I finished riveting on the flap and aileron gap fairings this evening.
I cleco'd the bottom skins on both wings and they are ready to stow away for the time being. I've decided to leave the bottom skins off for now until I have the auto-pilot servo and the pitot to mount.
Things left to do on wings:
-- Replace tank attach bolts with new ones.
-- Install pitot
-- Install autopilot servo
-- Rivet on bottom skins
-- Attach/rig ailerons and flaps
-- Install wing tips
-- Install lights/wires
Picture of bellcrank - Notice how the head of the bolt is on the top skin side (bottom in picture) and the nut is visible. This allows you to check the nut easily from the inspection panel without using a mirror. The other way is probably just fine but would require a mirror to inspect.
(Time: 2 hours)
