April 2, 2021 – The wings are installed, hopefully for good!
With the wings off, I prepped the holes for the fairing that wraps around the wing root.
I also added holes for the fuel quantity wiring where it will enter the fuselage. These wires are forward of the wing spar and there was no other entry point except where the fuel feed lines go in. I got very small ID grommets from Spruce for these holes.
I decided it was time, so I gathered my faithful friends and helpers.
After it was all done, we took a breather, and there was the usual hangar talk.
The next day I finished the wing install.
I torqued the mount bolts:
…and I installed the aft spar bolts and the fuel tank attach bolts:
No pictures, but I then routed the wing wires from the wings into the fuselage. That wasn’t a lot of fun because of the limited space between the wing roots and the fuselage skin.
Time: 15:45
