It was quite a bit of work to get the wing as you see here, from boxing in the wheel well to adding additional bracing.

Close-up detail of the landing gear wheel wells. Before the sheeting can begin I have to sort out how the ailerons will operate...stay tuned, you're going to like this.

Wing is finally one piece. (Top of wing)

Big turning point in this build...using 30 minute epoxy to join the three sections of the wing together. I prefer to join the wing prior to sheeting the bottom because I can use clamps to secure the halves together.

Reason #1- better support for the overlaying sheeting. #2-Wheel wells tend to collect dirt and debris with use. Easier clean-up down the road.

I decided to box in the wheel well for a couple of reasons...

These are high quality wheels by Robart. The hubs split by removing the three cap head screws visible so the tire can be mounted.

With the material removed, I Boxed in the cut out area using 3/32" stock.

Now with the wheels mounted, I can see how much material I need to remove from the rib foe wheel clearance. I'm using a blade that I had removed from a retired Zona saw. Works great!

I'm trying this new type of split collar. I think it will hold better and it's lighter than the steel collars since they are machined from aluminum.

The axle for these wheels are pretty robust at 1/4". I had to install a collar on the inside to give clearance to the knee shock.

Apparently others before me had the same concern, so Robart came up with this solution. Simply insert inside of the tire with this foam rod.

Received my wheels today. I had to send the others back because of the wrong axle size.

The foam filler rod was very easy to install.

When i mounted the tires for the first time, I wasn't happy with how soft the tires were. I needed to make them stiffer, especially with a potentially 20 pound plane. The solution was pretty easy.

Once mounted, i was pleased with how much firmer these tires were.

Time to slide the Center Section on as see how it fits...

In order for the wing panels to be joined together I need to mark and carefully cut slots that will allow the braces to slide in. I want to be sure to take my time as a tighter fitting joint will yield a stronger joint than a loose fitting one relying on the epoxy for strength.

The 1/16" dihedral braces are now slid in. They flank each side of the spar, sandwiching the whole assembly together once epoxied.

These are the plywood dihedral braces that are shown in the plan. The outer dihedral brace is 1/16" thick while the inner dihedral brace is 1/8".

The 1/8" braces are slid into place. Note how they fit between the upper and lower spar. Make sure that you have the dihedral brace in the right direction!
