Short Description: 02 - Wing root support brackets

Wing root support brackets
I carefully projected the extended rivet lines onto the upper end of each bracket, then measured and marked the rivet spacing to ensure I was drilling through an existing AD4 rivet for the AN3 bolts to hold these brackets on. It worked out perfectly. Next I machined slots outwards from the match-drilled 5/16" bolt hole that would allow the wing to flex back in an accident without tearing the inside rib out of the fuel tank. Tomorrow I'll trim away the excess material to put these heavy brackets on a diet.
