Wings, Top Wing Skins (Part 21)

Well, we finished installing the rivets in the Left Wing Skin (minus the J-Channel).


Below is the inside of the Right Wing showing the Wing Box J-Stiffener-Long and Wing Box J-Stiffeners-Short clecoed into place.  As I mentioned before, the J-Stiffeners have not been treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, or Akzo Primer (hence the shiny alumimum).

So, in order to finish the Wing, we had to prepare the J-Stiffeners.  The -Long and -Short were treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo Primer and are shown below drying after being primed.

After they were finished drying, we install them in the Wings.....looks better in Akzo green!  They now need to be riveted into place tomorrow.

Below, is the prepared VA-195B Stall Warning Keeper Plate (left) and VA-195A Stall Warning Mount Plate (right).  Both pieces were treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo and will be used to assembly the Stall Warning System in the Left Wing.
