NV WWA Highlander Build

I'll try to list out a few things that I've been working on lately. Seat rail strips - installed  Control mixer re-installed, stick posts drilled, have grips ready. Need to decide on doing a bend in the control stick, and what paint should be used on the aluminum before the grip install and completing the assembly for "final" install. Rudder petals installed and ready to go. Found that the brake petal insert that holds the rudder cables will need to have it's powdercoating removed so it can fit to attach the brake and rudders together and articulate. I'm going to pick up gasket remover tomorrow and hopefully get these and a few other things de-powdercoated so they can be fit and installed.

I like the results, but that doesn't rule out changes in the future. Reamed the gear leg fuselage attachment points and got the spacers and bolts all ready to go. The rudder petals are now installed, and I found that the brake attachment rod which also holds the cables won't fit...
