Another milestone. wings mounted for the final time. The F-1099 brackets are
called for about half blinds and half solids. The main over wing are called
blind but should be solid. That is the area where everyone will be stepping
to get aboard. All wing bolts in and torqued in about an hour. NAS close
tolerance bolts really tight left and easier on the right. Used LPS-2 for
lubrication the holes. Also the forward most top hole each side gets a solid
AN4704-5. The top bracket stops short of that hole but it is punched in the
skin anyway. It easily clears the tank attach spar.

For what it is worth, the only skins on the quick build wings and fuselage that
are rolled are the leading edges of the flaps and ailerons. I don't think it
is necessary when working with thicker material. I backriveted the entire tail
cone by myself using a couple of pillows to hold the tail cone in position against
the backrivet plate.
Also, you can save yourself some contortions working inside the tail cone if you
backrivet the F-1047A and F-1047B-L and R stiffeners to the F-1075 skin before
you cleco the skin to the bulkheads. Rivet all stiffener holes except the ones
that will get riveted to the bulkheads. When I was doing this I had some concern
that I would not be able to get the stiffeners into the slots in the bulkheads,
but with a little flexing of the stiffeners and bulkhead it came out
fine. I know of one other builder who did it this way with equally good results.
Makes it much easier to get a smooth finish on a skin that is going to be very
visible.

Thanks for the offer, John.
The replacement stall vane and screw arrived from Van's -- free of charge! The
screw is the same, the diameter of the new vane is larger so that it fits correctly.
Folks might want to check that when their kit comes instead of waiting
until install time.
Later, - Lew

Here's a follow up on my comment about the aerobatic guys adding a strip of aluminum
riveted to the fwd fuse top skin and overlapping the base of the windshield
to prevent later cracks.
We now have the instructions for the finishing kit, which include the windshield
installation ... and on page 45-18 (Rev 0, date 1/14/05) step 5, it says "fabricate
5 clips from .032 aluminum and blind rivet them to F-1071 Fwd Fuse Top
Skin to hold the base of the windshield". And then goes on with the laying up
of fiberglass instructions.
If this is something new, how come the revision is 0 and it's the old date? Or
maybe everybody has been doing this already and it's just the first I'm hearing
of it?
Later, - Lew

Yes, this is something everyone has been doing already. I don't
think you could consider the clips to be structural in any
way at all. They're just there to hold the windshield in its
orientation while you glass it all in.
