Daily progress.

I decided it was time for the wing to meet the fuselage.

Being this is a bashed TFGS P-47 with the wings being kit built and the fuselage being the RTC there is some differences.

The wing fits perfectly in the saddle.
The way the dowels are set on the RTC is further apart and the mounting bolts are way back on the RTC.

I am using 3/8" aluminum dowels and steel bolts for the mounting.

I drilled the 3/8" dowels in and they go threw the front spar, there glued in with epoxy.
I still need to fill in the front but will do that when I do the belly.



I cut out the mounts that were to far back and glued in a new one.
Blind nut is installed and a steel bolt, I need to glue in a washer and a tube when I do the belly.



I test fit the belly and will install that tomorrow, need to go to the HS and get some 1/4" stringers.



Getting there.
