About 70 minutes spent nailing on the deck (shelf one) and framing (shelf two).

First wing fixture shelf frame

35 minutes at lunchtime. Still have to nail down the shelf.

10 more minutes of progress on wing fixtures.

Hey, ten minutes is better than none. Also, managed to get more of the frame assembled without breaking any Varner bits.

Another Bit

10 minutes, token progress, but still managed to break another of Don's drill bits.

Building wing installation fixtures. Broke Don's 1/16 bit and then decided to forget about predrilling.

Wing Fixtures and Hangar Inspection

In the process of building fixtures for installation of the wings onto the aircraft.  Because of the lengthened main gears, the bottoms of the wings mount seven feet AGL.

The plan is to finish them tomorrow before the annual hangar inspection by the fire department.
