Well, family obligations have kept me away from the plane for the last few days, so not much progress to report.  I'm away for work the next 3 days, so I'll be back at it on Friday.

I did have to come up with a way to hold up the wing (and fuselage) and came up with tying together two plastic crates.  This should work well.

Just used a bunch of cable ties to secure two crates together.  Worked well.

I'll glue (spray) down some rubber flooring tiles and viola!

NEXT SESSIONS:
  1. Install pitot.
  2. Finish installing pitot air and electrical lines and connect to pitot.
  3. Cleco leading edge back on. I'll also test fit the fuel tank.
  4. Fitting and final sealing of left wing fuel tank.  Tank off and test for seal.
  5. Fuel tank on.  Just bolted at this point.
  6. Top skins riveted on (STRINGERS!).  Top skins of left wing need priming.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  7. Leading edge riveted on (STRINGER!).  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  8. Rivet fuel tank on.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  9. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  10. Finish sanding of left wing bottom rivet heads.
  11. Finish right wing (5, 6,7,8,9).
  12. Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  13. Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
  14. START ON FUSELAGE!
