    More progress. I have the wings bolted and pinned, fuel hoses connected, wing tips on and lights working. I had to temporarily remove the connector for the magnetometer so that the wires would pass through the spar. I finished last night by turning off all the lights off in the hanger then I turned on the plane's lights. Am I the only one that does this?

    I still need to install and rig the flaperons, install the jury struts and mount the pitot tube. I ended up buying the Garmin AOA pitot tube after the fabric was on the wing. The AOA requires another length of tubing to the ADAHRS (in the fuselage). Does anybody have an idea how to get a length of 1/4" tubing past the fuel tank and ribs?
