Tuesday build at the EAA hangar. We started by making some slat support backets for the nose ribs while another team identified the ribs for the wing. An encouraging start to our build as we have nice instructions, a nice kit, and nice videos to help us.

Several members in a hangar at a very large work bench, each working on sorting and categorizing some aircraft parts.
thin aluminum angle that has been marked out with various points and had relief holes drilled on the bend. These will become nose rib reinforce brackets for the slats.
Some people figuring out the placement of ribs on a wing spar using a tape measure. The placements are given in millimeter offsets from the end of the spar (so-called stations)
Two people carrying a wing spar with ribs clecoed in place where they will live. The wings have been marked with marker for their position.

This is new... I thought I was impressed last night when my #Australia trip video got over 100 views in its first 24 hours. Now in its 2nd day, it's getting over that every hour. With a year and a half since the last time I posted on YouTube, this is the first video I didn't post at all about on Twitter. I'm fairly sure Mastodon isn't big enough yet to drive such demand. Then I noticed YouTube's preview clip is from the Australia Day fireworks🎆. avgeek.social/@ikluft/11413707 #aviation #travel #avgeek

screenshot of viewing data from my "Ian Goes to Australia 2025" video showing an accelerating rate of views and a total of 787 views at the time. I had to have an avgeek reference. I flew back from Australia on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. But it was counting so fast I had to grab that screenshot in the moment it had the right number.
