Wings




I managed to find a couple of hours this afternoon, before the 'honey-do's' got in the way, to work on the RV project. I continued to work on the Gretz Aero Pitot mount. The first step was to use some aluminum angle as a support brace and measure it to fit. Once I got that in place I was able to take the Gretz backing plate and drill the mount holes, both to the wing spar and the angle brace that I had riveted in place to one of the ribs. Next step will be to cleco the wing skin back on and drill the holes in it for the backing plate.
