Deons CH 750 Project (Was Conrads)

[cross_wind]

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 thought of which keeps me up a night - something about cutting into a perfectly good fuel tank that scares me).

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

Another photo of the wing.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

I also have to figure out where I am going to store the wings when they are finished. Not sure if there is enough space in my garage - the wings are huge!
