After the epoxy cured for the night

I fit the Spring air retracts. Drilled and tapped the gear blocks to fit 440 button screws. I will harden them with thin ca later.

So after that was done I need to cut out the shear webs because I forgot to do it when I was preparing the wing skins (DUH!)

After those were done I installed the lower front bottom skin. This time I had to use the accelerator sprayed on the back of the wing skin and use medium ca on all the ribs, spar, and leading edge doubler. You have to work quickly by starting with the spar and rolling the skin to the leading while firmly holding it in place while the glue sets. (A tip on this is I work my way from the wing tip to the center of the wing as it is the largest area that you can keep elevated while you roll the skin on.)
