Received thumbs up - well done - from Sam Sisk, EAA Tech Counselor after examining Wings today. Ready to close up Wings with addition of Bottom Skins. Dimpled J-stiffener, Rib flanges. Countersunk rear spar flange, too. Two holes adjacent to Flap hinge bracket were simply done by taping in the countersink cutter into hex driver, since aluminum cuts easily. A few turns by hand and presto...done.

Today the Gretz Pitot Tube Mounting Bracket & hardware arrived from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. This design fits RV's with a jog at interface to spar flange. Discovered many RV builders have used this one via Vans Airforce Forums. I'll fabricate a simple brace/gusset at rear for support. (Van's hasn't completed their version for the RV14a listed as an option in their Avionics letter. Probably next year... )
