The angles were temporarily attached with old AN hardware and Ace hardware nuts for ease of removal. New AN nuts and bolts will be used in the final assembly.

RV-6a Wing Mounting Cont...
Mounted the right wing to the RV-6a today.
Set up the right wing spar for the RV-4 in the wing jig now that the RV-6 wing was removed.

Wing fitting on RV-6a
Finished riveting the final outside skins on the left and wings on Friday.
Saturday, I fitted the right wing to the RV-6a fuselage. It was interesting to remove the wing from the jig and insert it into the fuselage all by myself. I made some temporary fixtures that I could use to move the wing a little at a time. The rear spar attach bracket fit perfectly to the rear spar. (sigh of relief!)
The wing spars for the RV-4 and the RV-4 are in the background of the picture.
