§ 22-4 thu -17 Left, -18 thru -21 R

Got lots of building done this weekend.   The rear spar is the topic of construction for the next 4 or 5 chapters.  § 22 is pretty straightforward, if somewhat long.  I was really hoping to be able to complete the entire L rear spar on Saturday, but ran into a minor glitch.    

If you notice the title, I suddenly switched from building the L rear spar onto building the R rear spar.  Curious, no?    Page 18 calls out starting with W-15016B-002.   That's odd.  a -002 part implies that you've probably come across the corresponding -001 already.  I proceeded until I came to the conclusion that I had indeed built the corresponding assembly (outboard aileron attach point) for the other side.

No problem, I thought to myself.  I went to the parts shelf but for the life of me, I couldn't find the expected -001 part.  My inventory sheet shows I had it in my hand at one point, but neither myself nor my wife could find it in the shop.

I'll order another one this weekend and will eventually get to finishing the L rear spar, but during the meantime, there's other stuff to be done so I'm not stuck.
