Periodically we took photos of the various components and assemblies that would be hidden from view after covering. We wanted to be able to show the FAA inspector the fine workmanship.

The first step in the construction of the wings was the preparation of the forward and aft spars. An aluminum web insert was positioned inside each tube spar and carefully riveted in place. Two strut attachment fittings were also rivetted in place on each spar.

Aluminum tube cross-bracing was installed between the two spars. The primary wing ribs and false ribs were glued in place with epoxy structural cement. (Gooey and messy, but VERY strong.) Latex gloves kept MOST of the glue off of the students' hands and clothes
