Wing Closeouts and Root Cuffs

This AM, I continued on with the wing closeouts, I finished the left side by drilling for the hinge.

I also continued with the root cuffs and got them done. I installed all the lock plates except for the two forward most ones on each side. These will be installed after the powder coat as they capture two pieces in a sandwich fashion. All the holes and dimples are already done so it will be a matter of setting rivets to complete the task.

Everything installed in a final test fit before disassembly for powder coat.

The holes for the wing pins are drilled and the cap strip installed.

Final edge sanding was completed insuring that neither the wing or the slat touch the boot rib/cuff/cap strip when closed. Ready for disassembly...
