Drilled rear spars plus some landing light work: 4 hours

  • Re-leveled fuselage. Reset string and plumb bobs. Triple checked sweep and angle of incidence for left wing
  • Drilled hole for left wing rear spar AN5 bolt. I met the required 5/8" edge distance from the hole center plus a little extra. I started with a 1/8" drill and slowly worked up to an undersized 5/16" reamer that provided a snug fit for the AN5 bolt.
  • After the left wing did the same process for the right wing including checking level, sweep and incidence.
  • Mounted landing lights in brackets and mounted right landing light in wing tip.
