I finally move my Fuselage from my shop to the garage. I then pressure washed both my wings with Dawn detergent and rinsed
again with high pressure water to remove all the oil that Vans ships them coated with. I let them dry for a hour in the sun.
Then moved them into the shop for the work to begin, This is the stand I built for one when my QB shipment arrived.


I just layed my other wing on the table. This is where I will do most of the work on them.


I decided to run my 1/'2 ID Home Depot Poly tubing (conduit) about 6" behind the spar. It lines up with the exit hole
in the Fuselage OK for the wires to enter this area. I will only have Nav, Landing and Strobe Lights running through this
which is only about 3/8" worth of wires. I drilled the first two holes where I wanted the rest of them to line up. I then mounted
my Laser Level pointing through the second hole and on the next rib where I wanted them to line up.

Moving forward I was able to line the laser a little better as to where I wanted the path to remain.

The reason I decide to go this route is because once I get to the inboard ribs it's almost impossible to see where they need to be
drilled even using a template. The laser did this flawlessly. Notice you see no Red dot past the 3rd rib.

Using a Uni-bit and an extension borrowed from Jim Andrews I was able to drill the inboard "walk ribs". I will say that
drilling the inboard rib between the two inspection covers was a challenge. I had to have my wife hold the mirror so that
I could see the laser and then place the drill (small cordless screwdriver with a drill bit) on the laser dot. This is second
time I was able to get my wife to help me on this thing. That itself is a major milestone!

I then pulled the tubing through and it fit the holes so perfectly I was amazed.

This stuff is very lightweight and smooth inside. I highly recommend it. It takes 9' 2" for each wing.
