Flaps. Nothing is tightened down yet until I make sure it’s all good.

New fuel drain. New cables should arrive tomorrow so I’ll install them and the new pulleys, plus the fuel sensor gasket. Getting closer to covering them.

This is $207.84 worth of parts if purchased new. Good thing I found the originals.

Removed the fuel sender to replace the gasket. Checked the sender using an ohm meter to check for resistant change. . Cleaned the tank mounting edge. Cleaned the tank to fuselage grounding strap. Lots done.

The wings are in really good shape after being covered for 50+ years and stored since then in the old barn lean to and for 40 in Doug’s building. Keeping them high and dry and out of the weather kept them in great shape.

With that said, it also kept any pest infestation to a minimum. I have found just a few mud dauber nests and one bird nest. None caused any corrosion.

Removed the wingtip and cleaned out the bird nest. Removed some corrosion from the rib and applied some zinc primer.

And just that quick the old fabric is coming off.

We tried the wings on for fit this morning. Sure does cause a stir in the neighborhood when there’s an airplane in the driveway.

They fit fine with no issues and after 50+ years they were back on the airplane, even if only for a short time.

Now I get to take off the old fabric and put on new.
