Building some Brackets

I started working on the flap brackets today.  I made four good brackets and sent two to the scrap pile




Everything was going fine until I drilled 3/8 instead of 3/16


These all came out fine though

Worked on the Wing again today

Worked on the Wing again today.  I got all the rivets i the skin and most of the Wing Tip complete.





A New Hanger

After several months of waiting I finally have a hanger at KOXR.  I am on the waiting list for the airport of my choice, KCMA, but 169 people are ahead of me.  KOXR should do for the next 5 years or so.





While I was on the way to my hanger I stopped by the Harbor Freight factory for the parking lot sale.  I picked up a little hanger warming gift.  A 2HP compressor for $35.
