02Mar01, 2 hours - Laid right side slot cap.
03Mar01, 1 hour - Removed & cleaned up slot caps.
04Mar01, 6 hours - Fabricated flap bridge top. Laid flap hinge
rear spar brackets, trimmed green.
08Mar01, 6 hours - Filled & began forming wing top at
bridge. Cut access holes & re-installed flaps. Trimmed
aileron inboard cap to allow hardware access. Began reinstallation of
ailerons.
10Mar01, 2 hours - Completed aileron installation. Found that
the aileron actuator bolt interferes with the outboard leading edge of
the flap, rough trimmed accordingly.
 11Mar01, 5 hours - Fabricated seatbelt brackets. Located
brackets & potted 20# foam in preparation for mounting. To
avoid working overhead, I'll complete the installation when the wing is
flipped over. Installed 2-layer precure in wingtip nav-lamp notch.
16Mar01, 3 hours - Fit short wingtip lenses. These are the
colored lenses. I'll be using clear on the extended tips.
Began trimming & fitting extended wingtips.
17Mar01, 3 hours - Jigged & fit wingtip bottoms. Fit main
spar foam. I now must crawl under the wing to get from side to side, so
I better move quickly on the tips!
 18Mar01, 9 hours - Trimmed wingtip tops to fit. Laid main spar
in place. Laid up spar cap using top skin as a mold to get the
curve right. Sealed foam for wingtip recess & misc. end caps.
22Mar01, 1 hour - Laid up one side of the cap panel.
23Mar01, 2 hours - Laid up the balance of the cap panel. Hit
the flap extension with the heat gun, began shaping.
24Mar01, 5 hours - Continued flap extension shaping.
 25Mar01, 5
hours - Bonded wingtip spar caps. Began fabrication of nav/strobe
light assembly. This setup will fit in from inboard, rather than
outboard as the plans show. That way I'll be able to bond the lens
permanently in place.
