Wing Construction Page 5

 

The wing under construction on the previous page's was the left wing. The only difference between the left and right wings is that the right wing has a wing walk installed.

 

 

Here is a photo showing the wing walk under construction on the right wing. Building this part on the wing walk was pretty easy.When I got to this point I had two problems. First - the 1/8" plywood that was supplied by Fisher was the correct width but it was to short.I called Mike Makepeace about it and it was decided that I would just use some scrap plywood on the part where I was short. That would be attached at the rear spar side.

My second problem was the actual attachment of the wing walk ply to the wings. The plans show attaching the end cap on before you attach the wing walk ply. There is no place to attach c-clamps. Mike Makepeace tolkd me I had to attach the walk plywood first.

 

This photo shows the wing walk plywood attached with the with the end cap being glued at that time. The side plate sticks out past the wing walk 1/8". This was finished off with with T-88 and brown baby powder.

When actually gluing on the wing walk have plenty of c-clamps.

 

Here is the finished wing showing the wing walk.
