Spent a toasty Sunday at Frederick Airport getting Carlo's wings on. Clock is ticking on this one, as the owner of the hanger next to Carlo's (very full hanger) is out for a few more weeks (Cirrus jet touring Europe). Usual conversations on this stuff as shown in the video screen grabs. Once struts are on, final welding on the fuse, final prime and paint, and the engine gets hung/firewall forward stuff. Sept 2023 purchase of plans for Carlo, so a pretty decent speed-of-build. Should mention Carlo spent the winter getting the panel and all the wiring harness, windows, and cockpit interior build out, so further along that it might seem.
We used a couple laser levels (the Takamine four line is shown on tripod - good option of you don't want to sink over $500 on a Bosch three line) plus some calibrated digital levels for incidence, fuse leveling, etc. The platforms are pretty rudimentary, but using an almost empty hanger has its benefits, as once set, unlikely to be disturbed.
