After being sick for the last week, I needed to get back out to the garage to keep my boredom from doing me in. I still don't have a lot of energy, so just did a few odd jobs. I just couldn't get up the motivation to jump back into the flaps yet. From what I can gather, there shouldn't be any reason that I'd need to pull the fuel tanks off of the wings again, so I went ahead and put all of the Z bracket bolts in and torqued them (I still need to install the bolts on the inboard bracket, but that's too hard to do with the wings in the cradle since those go in from the front side of the spar).
I'm not going to pull wire for a while, but while the bottom skins are off I am putting conduit through the ribs. It's ribbed, so is a real pain to pull through the holes I drilled.
I got it pulled through the right wing, but still need to put either proseal or RTV at each hole. Apparently vibration can chop through the conduit over time if it's not protected.
It'll still be a while before any of the aileron pushrods will get permanently installed, but they need to be put in place so the general rigging of the aileron can be done. I think this is to just get each aileron set in a neutral position. Once the wings are on the fuselage, I'm sure there is more to do to ensure that the right amount of deflection is there.
I just got the right aileron set in place. Next I'll need to pull out the aileron rigging tool I made months ago as part of the wing build. It's just a long piece of angle that has some reference holes drilled in it to align the trailing edge of the aileron (I'm assuming with the wing chord).
