Carry through gusset

Yesterday I fixed the front carry through in place. Made this gusset plate myself. Didn't like to have the whole wing just bolted in the double 7/8" tubes, so Basically made a bigger gusset plate that strengthens the whole thing. Also the carry through, fits perfectly so all forces are nicely distributed.

And the third "station", at least I think that's how Robert calls it went in today, see below

And who needs Cleco's. I find with the right drill bit size, putting the rivet in, makes it sit perfectly in place. So after every hole I just put the rivet in and it won't move anymore.

Oh yes, I drill all holes in the gusset plate first, before I position it on the tubing.

Today I finished the back carry through gusset plate. Same story here as the front carry through, didn't like the 5/16" bolt going through the two 7/8" tubes. Will install this plate tomorrow !!! Can't wait :-)
