Brief Description:  Attaching the Spar

7 hours of mixing, bolting, measuring, measuring, and more measuring to find that if I hadn't have measured that much, this bird would have come out as straight as Elton John. Step 1 was to dry fit the spar and measure all angles and get a good idea of where it would be floxed. Step 2 was to bolt the wings on and check for sweep which is what REALLY shocked me. Almost 3 inches off comparred to the spar. This was a pain to do, but well worth it and with the wife's help it went together faster. Step 3 was to introduce the flox inside the joints and then install the spar one last time, check measurements, then remove the wings so I wouldn't have to leave the garage door open all night waiting for a cure. At this point I'm starting to daydream about a hanger....this garage is getting smaller :)
