    Split 5/8” tube lengthwise

    I plan to bond this to the lower longeron to streamline the landing gear bracing.

    Default 28 March 2024 - Given the boot

    No 9 and No 10 are back in place. I am still needing to fabricate some false ribs and clean up the reinforcements for the No 10 rib.

    My middle son was home from school on spring break. I asked if he wanted to help and he applied some Hysol. Waited an hour and did the usual sculpting making a nice looking fillet. This time I left some room between the spar and cap strip on the outboard side of No 10 to allow the aluminum strip to slide in.

    Cleaned up the trailing edge of the rib to bond a new trailing edge back on.

    After the adhesive was good and setup the wife gave me the boot and my project and I were banished to the basement.

    Once again I tried to upload pictures but was unable. Is anyone else having trouble with this. I am using an iPhone.

    Again photos are here https://eaabuilderslog.org/?s=ShowMeFox
