A good shop day. I finished the fabrication of the rear wing spars and primed up the left one. Tough on painting when it is cold and wet but the self etching Sherwin Williams 988 GWP appears to be generally indifferent to the weather.
the wings for the -7 are the same as the -8 with only a few modifications... here is one for the rear spars. i clecoed them all together to make a rough cut with a hack saw and finished the trim with the bench sander and scotchbright wheels.
