Wings Done

Postby lakespookie » Thu Feb 08, 2024 9:02 pm

I have to say of all the building the wings so far have been one of the hardest for find motivation for. Its just so repetitive, i have heard from other builders that its a love it or hate it with the wings, some people like the repetitive nature of it others hate it, I am the latter lol; but they are finally done and i have some much anticipation to finally be done with Page W-07 and go to a new page.

That being said for everyone building you eat an elephant one bite at a time so just do something even if its deburring it will eventually be complete.

But when they are done, it's an awesome feeling of accomplishment. Goes twice as quick with two people. Congrats on getting it done!

Bryan that would be so much more efficient lol, just moving the wings has been an adventure lol, that being said i like your tape method for the do not rivet doublers, I used a red and green sharpie with some hand written instructions but that seems in hind sight like a pretty good alternative.
