I bought this build from a gentleman in Texas and they had already started to build. He had built an RV and had experience with aluminum. I have built all my life and decided this is the only way I will get a new 185, build my own. I have not built any airplanes and no experience with solid rivets. After much researching and contemplation I decided to build a wing first. Cessna wings require a jig to get the twist in the wing correct among other things. We flew to a rebuilder and they let me look at there jig and measure and take pictures. So the first thing I built was the wing jig around the wing the previous owner had been working on. The skeleton was riveted together but the skin were just clecoed on. I worked on the jig for a couple days and put it on hinged casters so it would be easy to move when I was done. I bought a digital level and it is great for plumbing and leveling the jig. Once set I will not move the jig until I am done. I built the jig April 23 and 24 2020. I am only beginning to post this stuff because I have some down time and am going to try to catch up. I definitely did not take pictures of everything but I will post what I have and then try to keep current. Thanks for looking.
