Wing Inventory

Today once school was done I made my B-line straight for the airport to meet up with dad. Today we finally got to get back to work on the RV after about 13 weeks or so. We inventoried the kit and organized all of our rivets and fasteners, an astronomical amount compared to what comes in the empennage kit. Once all of the small parts were out we made room on the workbench for the main spars so we could inspect them. They looked flawless! Great job at Van's for sure, just a couple of buffing marks but nothing at all to worry about.


Though we did get one rib that was a bit bent up towards the end, we're thinking we'll be able to true it back to its original shape. We also got the spars clamped to the workbench so we can start the task of countersinking for the platenuts. Other than that there's not too much to report, but we're both stoked to get back to work!
