Wings, components progress

Right wingtip drilled to wing, outboard edge sanded smooth, and trailing edge trimmed to match the aileron.

Right wingtip drilled for nutplates.

Archer antenna mounting underway.

Archer antenna drilled to right wingtip in preparation for nutplates.

Right wingtip nutplates clecoed in place. As can be readily seen in this view, I’m seven nutplates short. Thanks, Van’s! I’m now awaiting yet another delivery from Aircraft Spruce.

On the bright side, I took advantage of this shipment to order the steel fittings for the engine. Van’s ships aluminum fittings with their FWF kit and I’m a great believer in steel, especially for the larger fittings used in the engine case for the oil lines and, of course, in the oil cooler.
