EAA tech inspector Ed Martinson came by for a critiquing session. Fortunately he was satisfied with my work. He had a nice digital level that we used to check for twist in the ailerons and flaps. Turns out that I have almost 1 degree twist which shouldn't be a problem for the flaps and might mean a heavy wing from the ailerons.

Finally I put in the seat belt reinforcement.

I have been in need of some .125 3/4 angle due to my firewall issue. I went to a local metal supplier only to buy the wrong stuff. This angle doesn't have a proper internal radius and is not good for structural applications. Nice, more wasted time and money. The right stuff is on it's way from Van's.
