Catch-up Blog

We're still doing miscellaneous things, because of the gas tank messs. We borrowed a cable tensiometer and adjusted the cables to the rear stabilator. We painted some more parts of the interior, and started to put in some of the panels in the rear area where the gas tank will go and the luggage compartment. THEN we discovered that somehow or another we forgot to put in about 8 nutplates, but we figured how to put them by guiding wire through the holes and pulling up the nutplate through the hole where the nutplates go. We need to order some more blind rivets to finish it.
We also fitted the wings, finally, and that took longer than we anticipated but it will be easier next time; if you deburr the inside of the tubes, the bushings will fit much better. We also put the brakes on.
We're going to start working on the canopy tomorrow.
