Wings :: Spars
Finished up the rear spar
2 Hours

Missed working on the project last night because I was dead tired after a spontaneous 25 mile bike ride and 5 mile run with a buddy of mine. Anyway, I got into the garage and squeezed the rivets attaching all the rear spar reinforcement pieces tonight. It took longer than it should have because I was distracted by the Rangers comeback victory over the Mariners...

Here is the inboard reinforcement plates on the rear spar permanently joined.

Here is the middle plate with the artistically shaped cutout. Note the interesting rivet patterns. Most holes are left empty now because other stuff will get attached at these locations later on.

And finally the wingtip doubler plate. There is the other rear spar that looks just like this only reversed which I also finished.

With the completion of the rear spar, I have finally finished the first page in the build manual. Now only about 14 to go!
