Wing and fuel tank removal.

Before cutting the fabric the area the new fabric will be glued to during reassembly must be sanded down to bare fabric. Fun.

Now that the wing is removed the fun part begins. The fuel tank has been leaking and to gain access the fabric has to be cut off the top of the wing.

These two pictures show the blocks where the wing attaches to the wing root. I have seen pictures of other airplanes where this area was severely corroded. These are in very good shape with no signs of corrosion.
