Visiting friends made for a slow start in the morning, but at least they got to see the airplane with the wings temporarily attached.  It does look more like a real airplane.

With the hangar held temporarily in place, I marked the location where the forward hole needed to be drilled.

The rear hole was drilled out and a bolt installed to lock the wing in position.

The temporary main spar bolts are in place and the rear bolt is in and an quick check looks like everything is where it belongs.

 

I installed the forward hangars after drilling the wing.

 

Forward hangars installed, looking through the bolt hole, it looks like the alignment is good.  I always worry when things are not match drilled.  Well I often worry even when they are...
