Early Christmas, again!: 1 hour

I picked up the wing kit today at the freight terminal. The crate containing the spars was much longer than I anticipated but it fit on my small trailer and made it up the driveway with no problems.

I just unpacked a few things but I had to take a close look at the factory built main wing spars. I was very impressed by how strong these appear and how good the workmanship is. They are definitely confidence inspiring.

I just started inventorying the wing kit but that will take several more hours to complete ... quite a few parts.

 

The 4Runner comes through again!

Burly machined aluminum bars and big rivets = 6g's.
