Wing Frame up

	The wing skeleton was completely framed up on the table to allow for final drilling and proper fit. It was then disassembled for deburring, countersinking and priming.
	Another shot prior to being primed.
	After final prep work was done and the parts primed, the skeleton was reassembled and final riveted together. The skeleton was then mounted into a jig for final assembly

	The root end of the wing showing the closely mounted ribs which will support the wing walking area for getting in and out. This area will have a double thickness of skin on it to prevent any damage as people climb in and out of the cockpit.
	The doublers plate at the inner edge of the aileron. The hole shown is where the control rod will exit the rear of the wing and connect to the aileron.
	Aileron attaching bracket at the tip of the wing final riveted into place.
	I opted to install a heated pitot tube from Gretz Aero. To do this I had to make a mounting plate and attack it to the main spar and the rib for support. The skin will also have to be cut for the mounting tube to pass through
