Wing root caps I try to get as much done to them before they go on the wing since they are much easier to handle that way. |

| These dowels are what the hooks will go in. I use rubberbands to hold the wings together. Light weight and will never back out like a bolt. Plus it doesn't hold the wing to the fuse side, it holds the two wings together. | .jpg) |
| The fuse side starting to look like swiss cheese with all the holes for the anti-rotation pins, wires, and hooks that the rubberbands will go on. | .jpg) |
