Wing verification, roll servo hardpoints | 11.27.2020

Now that the garage has enough room for it, we can work on verifying the wing construction. These are fast build wings that were made by the factory, so we don't anticipate any issues, but we'll double check everything and check it off in the book any way. Unfortunately, some of this will need to be one wing at a time.

This was just stepping through the plans, one page at a time and verifying everything that I could. I was able to verify everything on the right wing and 99% of the stuff on the left wing that was sitting on the floor as well. It'll need to be up on the sawhorses for the other stuff.

I also verified the aileron construction (factory) and the hinge work (Erik), and everything looks awesome. I will need something to remove the years old tape on the hinges, but other than that, no issues.

This stuff is real stuck.

Aileron attached and checking for free movement. Needs sanded in some spots.

Once that was done, I did some glass work. Applied microbubble to the ends of the ailerons to smooth them out for looks, will sand once cured. I also microbubbled to fill around the roll servo hardpoints, then glassed over them with 2 plies BID.
