Building N679PG

With Jess up in Napa for a girls weekend, and me wanting to keep the momentum going on the Rib prep, I decided to take the work home with me. Between movies and volleyball games, I was able to get a lot done.

Jack and I snuck out to the hangar for a couple hours and continued the deburring. I think I need a new mini scotch-brite wheel!

Wing Rib preparation started in earnest today…and it was one heck of a marathon. In this quick post, I celebrate the joys of a single task, repeated over and over.

Finally finished the main and rear spar assembly sections tonight. It feels good to knock out a page of Section 7 (Wing). In this post you’ll learn what is in store for me, now that the spars are done.

Lots of good progress today continuing the replacement tie-down as well as finishing up the Rear Spar Assembly

With the priming out of the way, I got back to building (i guess priming is part of building). I got the replacement tie-down from Van’s, so I decided to focus on that in this early morning session.

With the learnings from Wednesday, Giacomo and I came into today confident we could get through our first real priming session. Good thoughts prevailed, and we had a great time doing our first priming session.

A nice morning session getting the rear spar parts deburred and ready to go for priming.
