Friends offered to loan me a C set and help rivet, so I started on the machine angle parts I will need for the spars. I'll finish the ailerons and flaps once I get the spars done. My friend Jim Gates has a great wing cradle he built from 1" X 3"s for his Onex. I'm adapting that for my Sonex. I made a full scale template from the drawing above of the Tip Web. It made it easier to check my measurements.
using the plans as a template to line up the parts of the wing attach assemblies.
The machinists on the field did not have much advice on bending the angles. I called Sonex and they said to use a dead blow hammer and get the angles close. The assembly will snug them up. So that's what I did.
All the assembles machine angle parts for the right spar
This was the hardest piece.
All parts assembled for right spar.
