    Default 3 September 2022 - Left Wing Build, Ribs 3 - 5, Drag Anti Drag Tubes

    Prepped and installed drag anti drag brackets between ribs 3 - 7.

    Located and bonded ribs 3, 4, & 5 to wing spar. Secured with clamps and applied fillet of hysol.

    Plan for next work session is to locate and bond ribs 6 & 7 in place. Waiting on drag anti drag bracket to arrive from kitfox.

    Ordered plain aluminum hubcaps for grove wheels. Will polish to match landing gear.

    Sanded ends of horizontal stabilizer and elevator to match. Applied additional Superfil to end caps due to removing too much material initially. Obtained a pleasing contour at the junction of the elevator and horizontal stabilizer.

    Added superfil to inside of the end ribs to prevent moisture from becoming trapped inside.
