Fuselage stand and wing mount drift pins: 3 hours


  • finished fuselage stand - mounted adjustable leveling feet and carpet to protect fuselage skin
  • switched fuselage to new stand and removed the legs that were mounted in the spar carry through
  • made 6 drift pins for temporary wing mounting -  these are large hardware store bolts the I cut the threads off of then tapered the ends with a grinder (also sanding and polishing, etc.)
  • painted test pieces to determine the best paint for repainting the area around the rudder pedals that I had previously painted Ford Tractor Gray
New fuselage stand:
