The skins have been clecoed to the top and the aileron fitted to the wing for measuring and clearance purposes.
	Shot of the bottom of the wing with the inboard bottom skin in place to be sure everything is lining up properly.
	And the top skin is permanently attached. This side was easy since full access to the back side for bucking the rivets was there. The bottom skin will be another story!
	Aileron bellcrank final mounted and the lock attached to hold the aileron in the neutral position for now.
	Bottom view of right wing prior to skinning
	Completed bottom of right wing with leading edge attached
	Splice joint where the leading edge and fuel tank will meet. The nutplates are in place for the tank to bolt on with
	A small inlet in the lower side of the wing will help keep the rear seat passenger cool
	Jigs used in fitting the flaps into position
	Another shot being sure the flap is in the right position. The hinges supplied in the kit did not seem wide enough and the edge distance wasn't enough to suit me so I called to see what to do. Van's was able to supply me with a wider hinge after I didn't like the first suggestion they offered. I was first told that the flap and aileron didn't have to line up...................NOT an option for me!!
