It’s been a few weeks since I’ve worked on the project. Family parties and graduations and stuff have been popping up and work has gotten very busy so I haven’t had any time to get to the garage. However, I put together a list of what needs to be done on the wings to close them out. 

• Remove ailerons/flaps
• Dimple/surface-prep aileron braces
• Prep aileron reinforcement brackets for the service bulletin 
• Dimple top skin for aileron brace flush rivets
• Dimple/rivet flap hinges to bottom skin
• Install pvc wiring conduit through lightening holes
• Dimple/prime/edge finish the remaining left and right bottom skins 
• Install nutplates for last access panels
• Rivet aileron brackets
• Dimple remaining ribs
• Rivet bottom skin

It seems like a long list but it’s pretty standard stuff. I’m going to hold off on riveting the bottom skin for quite a while, however everything else can probably be completed in a day of solid work. I didn’t include the wingtip work in this list because I’m planning on holding off on that for a long time as well. With the wiring conduit in the wing I should have no issues wiring up my landing/nav/strobe lights later on. 

Here’s the current status of the shop. ‘Till next time!
