Today we finished up much of the right wing. We riveted the gap fairings to the top skin and rear spar. Finally we prepped (deburred, dimpled and primed) all of the bottom skins. Once that was finished we used the wing stand to take the wings to Darren's house (hence the title). Unlike the last time we rolled a wing to Darren's we got a few confused looks this time. As usual with Ontario, no one would actually think to ask what we were doing -- if this was Saskatchewan (where people are friendly) I figure the move could've taken an hour as people stopped to talk.
Before we started work today we moved some of the bigger pieces of the fuselage kit over to Darren's house and cut up some of the wood left over from Home Depot aircraft supply (the fuselage crate lid, the wing stand, etc) to clean up the shop. We even vacuumed.
To put the icing on the cake that was today, Saskatchewan beat Calgary to win 1st place in the West! For the first time in 33 years Regina will be the host of the Western final. Go Riders! I wish I could make it home to see that game.
