Today was 'mounting day'. It was time for the wings to meet the airframe. Although my holes were all drilled to 1/4" I started with 3/16" bolts so the wing could quickly be put in place then I went back and through drilled some of the holes while installing 1/4" bolts that had been tapered to a bullet point. After that I calibrated two digital levels (they needed it) and setup the wings dihedral at an initial 1.1 degrees on the front spars. The 1.1 deg is what I calculated as an initial angle to give me something close to 3" dihedral. Which turned out to be close as I later measured 2.5" with string sag. I've no idea how much sag at this point. The rear conduit struts didn't have the 5 deg angles so I just let them droop vertically to the floor as supports and adjusted them to give 2 degree washout. Tomorrow I'll readjust the rigging and go about making the final rear struts then the front ones after that. Very cool to see the big visual change, finally.
Speaking of 'big visuals' a box of wing covering showed up today. I didn't realize how big the box would be. Cool.
