Looking forward to seeing the maidens on these!

The next step was bolting the wings to the cabin top. The next step is clamping the plane and wings with proper dihedral so that I can make the struts proper length. There is 3/4" dihedral from wing root to the last full rib near wingtip. I built the main struts and the jury struts to proper dimensions. I had to install the main gear to attach the struts, so the next pic shows it on its wheels for the 1st time.

It has been a while since I updated my progress on this build. I've got a lot of days in the shop lately. Things are starting to take shape. One of the 1st things I did was install the ailerons and flaps so that I could clamp them in neutral position to allow shaping the wing tips to meet the curve of the ailerons. A lot of sawdust later, the wingtip is trimmed, tapered, and shaped to meet the aileron.

Wednesday. Cedar 10 AM

I am planning to fly tomorrow before noon - all day. GE Aviation will be there most of the day until 4PM, but club members get 1st dibs on runway!

Yes it is.
