After a little Sun-n-Fun motivation, I got back in the garage. Today I finished making the left spar rib brackets and mounted them. Nothing different than the right wing here. I used two washers on each bolt (one on bolt head and one on nut end). I used a little blue Locktite again. There is some debate about using this with nylon locknuts, but I know others have used it, so I'm following their lead.
I got to meet Glen Bradley (CX Yahoo Group) and Patrick Panzera (of CONTACT! magazine). Both great guys!
Also, I saw the SPA Panther up close and personal. That's a nice plane, and Dan seems like a good guy. Might have my eye on one of those in the future.
I'm building a Thatcher CX4 experimental airplane and documenting the experience here. The Thatcher CX4 is a single place, all metal airplane design by David Thatcher. My plans are #568. See the CX4 site here: www.thatchercx4.com.
