Nicely done.

Nicely done.

Second that!!

Ran a temporary 2-56 bolt through the main spar bracket, tightened with a nut and fitted the wings solidly for the first time. Just a tremendous feeling to get to this stage. I will leave the bracket temporarily bolted only as I work my way through this stage of the build.

Test fitted some cross wood pieces.

Second that!!

Thanks guys.

Sanded the 4-40 wing retainer bolts to a point. They slip into the backside of the bracket easily now.

Upper cabin frame test fitting tonight.

Squaring everything up.....

Really good work there!
Would it be easier for the bolts to come in from the backside? Will you braze the mount to the structure, or goockumpucky it?

I think the bolts will have to come from the other side. Hoping I can make the top window an access panel and I could come from the front side but it doesn't look like I can.

Mounting bracket will be fine with a bolt/ screw(s).
