Wings installed for the first time

Post by splischke »

It was initial assembly day. The wings have never been on before so anxiety was high but everything fit perfectly. All those expensive flying/landing wires were spot-on the correct length. Next I'll install the completed ailerons and finish the push-pull controls. It's really looking like an airplane. I'm pumped :D
