Right Wing Shelf - Shop Stuff

One of the "joys" of building in a one-car garage is creative/careful use of space.  Today I extended the shelf above the garage door to store the right wing while I build the the rest of the plane.  It's made out of scrap wood I had laying around. It isn't pretty, but it works!  Now I can start the left wing.  I'm not 100% where the left one will go while I build the fuselage, but we'll figure that out later.


I managed to wrestle this up there by myself!

They say at some point everyone gets overwhelmed with the project.  Starring at the left wing spar is that moment for me.  I have to build another one?!  Oh well, all for the greater good, and hopefully this will be quicker with all of the lessons learned on the first wing!

Wing Tip Leading Edge - RIGHT WING DONE!

The right wing is done!

I fit, drilled and riveted the right wingtip's leading edge.  This was a bear, and I'm not sure I have any great advice here.  I would cut the part big and trim later.  I did find that masking tape helped me to hold things in place while I lined things up.  If you bought the fiberglass tips like I did, you'll want to get that out to make sure everything lines up.  I also focused on the top first, then the bottom when drilling.  I then removed the part and trimmed the excess off the tip and root ends.
