Wing walk work

Today’s session was pretty much all wing walk. I got the notches for the cross pieces all properly fitted using a large file. I got the nose walk supports similarly modified to fit the cross pieces, and cut to fit the spar. Then I glued on all of the long supports as well as the cross braces under the main portion of the wing walk. The front extension portion will have to wait until I figure out exactly how I’m going to deal with the false rib in the center.

Along the way I also glued the top of the root wing rib to the top of the spar. The root rib is angled slightly to accommodate the dihedral, so the wing walk skin will need to be cut in an irregular shape to fit, of course. It has to be; cutting a simple rectangle would be far too easy.
