Wow! Today was a very productive day. It didn't start out that way. My work/sleep schedule is truly chaotic. I didn't feel much more tired than usual when we went to bed last night but I slept 12 solid hours and had no bouts of tossing & turning. I woke up around 1pm, but puttered around the house and didn't even get dressed until almost 5pm. (I might have been a touch hung over, but we won't talk about that, will we?)
In my last post, I was undecided about how to proceed. I decided to build up the skeleton of the right wing in parallel and will then proceed with applying skins to both wings. This way I have the open, accessible L wing to use as a reference for the R since there aren't any drawings of the R wing. I had already purchased two portable work stands from Home Depot and Lada helped me move the L wing skeleton to those to get it out of the way and make room for the work on the R wing.
Despite not getting started until 5pm, I managed to finish 3 chapters for the Right wing! Much of that speed was due to having already built up the mixer boxes and aileron brackets for the right wing a couple of months ago. Today, I attached all of the main ribs to the rear spar, attached the outboard mixer box to the rear spar, and fastened the rear spar to the fuel tank. In detail, I completed the following pages: §22-04, -05, -06, -12, -13, -14, -15, -17, -22, -23, -24, -25, §24-05, -06, -07, -08, -09, §26-05 & -06.
