Been following your build off and on for over a year. I love seeing the progress. It's very inspiring. I have about 2 years before I start on my build.
I'm working on my left wing right now and just drilled the pilot holes into the ribs and front spar - pretty much right where you are. I'm not doing a video for this one - just want to enjoy working on the plane. I think your jig is nice and should work for this portion of the build, but you're probably going to need to change it once you have both of your skins attached. I did something similar and ended up having to come up with a way to suspend the wing with the skins attached so I could ensure it was straight all the way through final riveting. I might recommend not up-drilling the skin/rear spar holes until last. That way you have just a little wiggle room to make sure it's all straight before locking it into shape forever.
Great advice and will take it on board. You’re right about the jig, and have already looked ahead that the way I have done it possible wont work when inverted, but will see this weekend.
Здравствуйте!Хотел спросить по лонжерону крыла?Есть упоры на лонжеронах в виде пластин чтобы крылья не опускались вниз при сборке.А есть ли такие упоры чтобы крылья не перемещались наверх разгружая два болта?Или подъемную силу воспринимают два болта?спасибо!
There are stops on each spar which basically aligns the wing into its position, then the 3 tooling holes are for alignment. Once that is achieved you have two forward half inch bolts and two rear quarter inch bolts that fix tight the two spars together with the bolts. So basically, you have 3 tooling holes and the two plates that align and you finish off with the bolts, two forward and two aft…hope this answers and I didn’t get lost in the translation?
Sorry about the volume levels. There was a software update and hadn’t realized it was those levels until I posted it. I will endeavor to get it better in the future
There was a software update so this posting was all over the place. Can you be specific, was it the music as in my choice that just sucked, or the volume levels, hope the latter? I am trying my best to get all aspects right

What are you going to build?
It looks so good! The new shop looks like a very nice upgrade. It's Coming along very nicely.
Thanks, and am very happy with the space, but it has filled up very quickly, and doesn’t feel as big anymore
Coming along very nicely .
Yes, getting there...I am always nervous when I start a new section if the build
@@pandyseven why did you choose blinds for the ribs instead of solid?
Blind rivets is how the aircraft was designed, solids are only in the main spar and on the windscreen 'bow'
@@pandyseven wonder if they did it for weight
I dont belive so, I would guess it is for the ease of building...its faster and takes only one person to do? solid riverts require more expierence....

music is very distracting, and too loud.
really interested but cannot watch due to that

Airplane building music sucks!!!
