Mounting Wing 8.31.2020

 526EJ Build Log August 31, 2020

    We spent the 30th organizing the garage because we were starting to get a little annoyed with all the stuff in the way and since we are going to start doing work on the plane rather than just verifying the existing build, we wanted to take inventory and get an idea of where everything we have is located. We also wanted to bolt the wing on to check canard incidence, so we needed to make space.

    On the 31st we mounted the right wing in the garage. It just barely fit, and was a giant pain the butt to do with just the two of us and a couple of sawhorses, but we made it work!

Peep the sign in the back.

It was kind of ridiculous.

      We mounted the wing so we could check canard incidence. It was bang on! Jeffery also spent a bunch of time on the phone with Chad from the Velocity factory asking various questions. We removed the wing and placed it back on the floor when we were done leveling. 

     Called it a night. So far Jeffery and I have spent 23.3 and 17.3 hours respectively, just verifying prior work and making no forward progress. We're happy to spend extra time making sure this won't fall apart in the sky.
