Big day today as the wing kit was delivered! I was worried that the delivery might get pushed back because we got 10" of snow last night. It was enough to cancel school for the day but the driver showed up right on time!


Using a moving dolly for the spar box and an electric pallet jack/fork lift thing, the driver got the boxes off the truck and all the way to the garage without any difficulty.


There was a small bit of damage on one of the box corners but fortunately, the skins were just far enough away from the edge that the made it by unscathed.



Lots of bits and bobs in the kit but it mostly seemed to be packing paper. The inventory was eight pages and I made it through about half of it today before I ran out of time.


Sometime in the past few days, I remade the spray booth using 1/2" PVC pipes and 3 mil plastic sheet. It's roughly 6'x6'x4' and the clear plastic lets in so much more light than the house wrap it makes it much easier to see! Hopefully it works better for cold weather priming than my previous abomination...
