Almost Finsished with the Wings!

I got back to working on the wings. I didn't post any updates because the process was basically the same for the left wing as it was the right. Here are some pictures of how we riveted the last skin on the left wing. We clecoed the skin to a piece of PVC pipe then ran a rope from the PVC pipe to the ceiling.



As of now, Everything is finished except for the wingtips (I am going to wait to install them) and the finishing the right tank. Yesterday Dad and I sealed the left tank. We got the float bent and tested the sender. We also had to bend the pickup tube so it would be at the bottom of the tank. I stuck the camera in the tank with the self-timer on to check the position of the pickup line.

We then installed needed items and got everything sealed.
It won't be long until I am working on the fuselage!

Project

No, I didn't abandon it, it's just that during the summer I don't get much of a chance to work on it because of the ranch work we have to do. I'll get back to work on it in the fall and winter when things aren't so busy. It looks like I didn't get the picture from riveting the wing skin on the computer. I'll have to get around to that sometime.

Oh, we got the Super Cub back in mid June. We have been having a blast flying around the ranch with it. I've got my take-offs down pretty good. I've done a few landings as well, but I need to work on them some more.

Landing light installation

Yesterday I finished installing a 'Duckworks' landing light in the right wing. Here are some pictures I took while installing it.

One of the hardest parts was cutting the hole in the leading edge. That was something I 'let' Dad do.


Here are two of the nutplate that hold the landing light mount.

To drill the lens, Dad held the light in position and I drilled it. Luckily I didn't crack it.

Here are a couple of pictures of everything installed.

Wing progress so far

I started working on my right wing in March. Here are some pictures of the progress I have made since then.

Here is a picture of the wing.


These holes are for conduit.

Here is a picture of I took while working on pulling the conduit through. It was a real pain and took me a few hours.

Here is a picture of the autopilot servo.

You can see I have the gap fairings and the aileron installed.
