I was wondering, it is a month later and is the right wing done as planned?

A fuel gauge...Spike:

Well, the operative word is "should". I have made some progress but I've been in Hawaii on vacation. Plus, it's cold in my garage. I'm in no big rush because it will be a while before I can order my fuselage kit.
I'm ready to rivet the top skins.
Tips: If you're building your wings one at a time like I did, pay close attention on the second wing so that you don't get anything reversed. I made a tank attach bracket backwards and had to oder another piece of angle.
If you haven't yet made your tank attach bracket for your left wing, let me know. You can have the one I mistakenly made. If you don't have a band saw, making these brakets is a very tedious process.

Well, yes... I haven't done a thing yet. The tank attachment bracket is not even on my radar screen, but if you say it is alotta work, I trust you!
You made 2 brackets the same? I see how that could quite easily be done!
If you are willing to ship it, I will gladly pay your shipping.
Ohio will be a regular stop for me once the plane is done. I have cousins in the Solon area. It will be my standard stopping point the day before OSH and on the way home. Perhaps one day we will actually fly in formation together!
