I made the first rough cuts to the first blade. This is the leading edge.
Bonded in 9# foam to right wing walk area. Layed up single layer UNI over foam on left wing walk per old newsletter.
Cleaned, alumapreped and alodined the aileron bellcrank parts. Riveted the bellcrank halves together. Assembled the bellcranks to the pivots. Cut holes in D ribs to clear bellcranks. Installed both aileron bellcranks to the D ribs.
Bonded top skins to ailerons and applied end laminates, actuator reinforcing laminates and shearweb laminates. Fabricated flap ribs and bonded into lower skins. This is the completed aileron.
Began rough cutting hole for left canopy glass.

This is the surge tank I designed and had C&R Racing make to go with the radiator. This is designed to attach directly to the stock Subaru water outlet with just a short 4 section of 1.5 radiator hose.
Started assembling wing jig. I've decided to start on this and get it done first due to my limit of _ of the garage. The wing will be easier to store while building the fuselage.

I also figured out what to do with all my old resin and acetone cans. I built this simple shelf.
Closed the wing today! Thanks go out to Ralph Hudson, Leighton Mangles, Ken Melvin, Pat Weston and my wife (for all the food that was not touched and the great coffee). We made a great team even with the short supply of materials. All totaled, it took 2600g of resin, 1000g of mill fiber, and 62g of cabosil. From starting the mixing, to final weighting of the second skin, it took 1.5 hours. Cleaned up the mess. Trimmed excess resin and mill fiber. About three hours later I went around and injected mill fiber into the void above the left D rib and into the void along the left rear spar cap. It only took about 30g of the mill fiber mix to do this fill.
Overhauled the heads, bolted them to the engine and installed the oil pump.
