Main Spar Construction

 

Main spar with all platenuts in place for attaching the fuel tanks and access covers. There was a LOT of countersinking done on the main spar. Due to the thickness there was no way to dimple anything.

Tie down bracket attached to the main spar. This also serves for the attaching plate for the aileron bellcrank shown a few pictures down.
