Wing Attachment Fittings Continued...Again

Tonight I finished the 1/4" 4130 steel work (except drilling).  I did all of the shaping on the bench grinder, and used a hand file and 320 grit sandpaper to smooth things out.  Seemed to work well.

Two of these go on the right side of the center spar (in the fuselage) and two on the left side to attach the wings to the fuselage.  If you're not familiar with the plans, I think it will make more sense when I start building the actual spar.



Now I have to make all parts again, but this time it is made of 1/8" steel.  I'm hoping the thinner metal is a little easier to cut.
