Subject: | Bare wood wing storage |
Yes, my wing as well is varnished. I really have no where else to store the
m once built, so I guess they are both going to have to stay in the garage
until ready for covering. I just hoped the heat/cold would not hurt them. (
winters...Ohio)

My first wing, after varnish was hung on my basement ceiling.- The wood f
or that wing had been in the heated basement for two years.- The other da
y when getting ready to store my second wing I noticed quite a few loose bo
lts on the first one.- I had no idea the wood dried out and shrunk that m
uch after storing in the controlled atmosphere.

Subject: | One down, one to go. (Wings) |
The wood construction on my right wing is done and it is now stored out of
the way. My spars for the left wing come yesterday, Monday and I should be
installing ribs by the weekend.- Feels good to be half way through wing c
onstruction. One thing that may be of use to those who do not have their wi
ngs built: I varnished mine by hand with a brush. To do the whole wing once
assemble was quite the chore. What I will be doing with this left wing is
to do the varnish as I go. I'll install some ribs, let dry, then varnish th
ose ribs. Add a few more, let dry, varnish. This way I can get right up to
them without having to reach across the chord or in between spars, etc. The
spars themselves will not be-varnished until all the other bracing and c
ompression struts are in place. Those did not seem to bad to do once the wi
ng was done.

Just some FYI on my progress and thoughts.
