Since the fuel lines between the fuel tank and fuel selector are done, it is time to remove the wing from fuselage. I spent quite bit time to disconnect all the control links, remove flaps and ailerons, reorganize garage. And finally, with my father in-law's help, the wings are finally off and on the stand again. Once the wings are off, I spent some time to deburr the holes for wing root fairing, and installed nutplates. However, I don't have enough nutplates left, I'll have to order more.With wing off, now it is the first time to look at the edge margin on the rear spar. All look good, a big relief.
