So now that the structure for the wing has been riveted together, the structure is moved to the wing stand. This stand rolls and allows me to move it around the garage. Even with this stand, I am able to park my truck in the garage each night. The skins are cleoced to the structure. There are two skins for the top and two for the bottom.
Once the skins are on, they are match drilled to the ribs. This is more “normal” work. On the top skin, a stiffener is ran the entire length of the wing. This has a special “J” shape, and helps to provide rigidity to the structure. These come without any holes, so you draw a line down the center and use that to help keep it centered while you match drill it to the skin.
