Built a wing cradle to help wih wing install. I was mentally ready to install today but when I brought the wing close to the fuselage, i realized the pitot and AoA lines have to move, and some wiring needed to be extended.
Got the left wing wiring done. I have the harness connectors between the wing and fuselage. I installed the left wing using the stand. It worked well, and made it a one man job.
I had redone the wires but realize they hit to control rods. The wires need to go through the original holes but with enough wire the connectors can sit between the inner rib and fuselage.
Edit: Yes I pulled both wings off and redid the wires and pitot lines at the root. Here are the final pictures. It seems there is only a 1/2 " available on the wing lightening hole for "stuff"; basically half the difference in diameter of the wing hole and the fuselage hole. If one exceeds this 1/2", then it will touch the aileron control rod.
3/22/23 UPDATE:
Wings on with temporary bolts.
Had to pull both wings off due to wires and stuff hitting aileron control tube (see post above)But cradle made it relatively easy to remove and reinstall wings.
Preliminary measurement shows no sweep and incidence within 0.5 degrees; Next up is drilling rear spar...
