Wing skeleton finished - will rivet together tonight. I'm glad I kept all the wrapping paper to use when spraypainting.

After a weeks break, I am back in the swing of things. Finished priming the right wing skeleton last night.

mmmm - hope the pilot is ok.

Not to start a storm in a tea cup, but I was wondering if any of the pilots out there flying Jab engines are experiencing reliability or maintenance problems with their engines. I was planning on installing a 3300 in my CH750, but have been advised against it (by a few people and AMO's) due to relia...

Updated my log book this morning, after 83 hours of building I reckon I am 12% complete.

The wing skeleton is held together with A5 Rivets (the big ones). I may need to organise some more black A5 clecos - used every last one I have.

Another milestone complete - finished construction of the wing skeleton (both wings). Now I need to disassemble, debur, clean, prime and rivet together.

Almost forgot - anyone know what you can use to fill in the rivet dimple. I heard of a product that is sold in a syringe that works well but for the life of me can't remember its name. I know filling in a few thousand rivet heads is going to be tedious, but I think well worth it in the end.

The guys on the build video build the wing on a pair of steel tressles (saw horses). Anyone know where I can buy these? I have been to most of the big hardware stores, but can only find the cheap pine ones. I would like to build both wings in tandem to save on time.

Another photo of the wing.

Wing skeleton clecoed together and the edges and corners deburred and rounded.

I had a terrible "building week" last week but plan to play some catch-up this week. The nose rib brackets are complete and the right wing skeleton is well underway. I now need to organise my wing strobes before I skin the wing. I also need to install a fuel sender unit on each wing tank (the though...

Well done!! Don't forget to give us an update on your first flight.

Will post update tonight. I have to sit and resize some photos. I should finish the wing skeleton tonight!

Your progress is looking good! My chances of keeping up with your project are starting to look slim :) Are the photoguides you are following from the Zenith builders page, or did you get them with the kit? Maybe I'm missing something, but there seems to be a huge amount of important info missing fr...
