Covering, Left Wing

I accomplished several tasks today on tidying up the left wing before covering.

1. Torque sealed the spoiler nuts & bolts.

2. Safety wired the flap turnbuckle. I sniped the zip ties the factory used to hold the pieces in place. Again, I used the EAA preferred method of safety wiring turnbuckles on Control Cables.

3. Laced the Nav Light wire using the same technique as I employed on the right wing. I drilled small holes in the bracket and rib for the lacing to attach to. I used a couple of pieces of Rescue Tape for cushion and laced the wire in place.

4. Installed the aileron push rod.

5. Took pics and video of the entire wing showing its current state before covering.
