One side at a stopping point while I determing whether or not I can close it up.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1779.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nThis is a shot of the space between the forward spar, outboard of the middle rib.

Still working out the best way to photograph this stuff.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1782.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nBottom side rivets on center and center nose ribs.  Yes, there will be some buffing and polishing.  Or that&#8217;s where the black stripe on the HS will go at paint time.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1783.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nTop side rivets.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1787.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nMiddle Nose rib.  Notice the dings in the primer.  I&#8217;m going to sand these down where there are deep scratches and shoot some primer in over them before closing.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1788.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nAnother view of the middle aft rib connecting to the forward spar.. The weird ghosting is from camera jitter (my jitter).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1790.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nSame rib, this time showing the aftmost rivets<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1794.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nMiddle nose rib again, but this shot&#8217;s just cool.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1795.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nWider angle of fwd spar and middle main rib.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1802.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nThis is part of the aft spar, showing shop heads on the thicker channel (they&#8217;re not all facing this way, but the metal&#8217;s not warped).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1805.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nElevator hinge with 5\/32 rivets instead of 1\/8.  See earlier entry for details.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1812.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nBack inside now, looking at the oops where I patched a hole from a missed dimpling hit.   The notch cut into the spar is fully deburred, and not contacting the patch rivet, even though it looks like it.  This oops is about 3\/4 of the way outboard from center.  BTW, I&#8217;ll be going over those scratches in the primer as well.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1818.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nPointing to the space along the span where the oops is..<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/stjohn.openbar.com\/airplane\/images\/10-9-05\/IMG_1819.JPG\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nFor perspective, this is where the oops is, but on the opposite side of where the mirror&#8217;s pointing to.  This is just to show how far outboard the oops is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>these are a few pics of the state of the Left side HS.
