I went to the hangar this evening to do a bit more preparation for getting the wings on for good. First thing I did was cut off the all that 3/8" tubing sticking out the fuselage for the fuel lines and put a fitting on there. This will make it a bit easier to route the rest of the tubing to the fuel tank.

Then I put the aileron pushrod booties on! This seemed the easiest way to mount them. I need to run a bead of silicone sealer around the perifery just to make sure there are no leaks.

I deburred the rear spar holes we drilled previously, and deburred and dimpled all the screw holes for the fuselage skin to wing connection.

I removed the gussets from inside the fuselage and deburred them too. I need to prime these. We’re almost ready to put the wings on for good!
