In the zone
I've been forgetting to update this, so here goes... I've stayed relatively busy working on it, organized my workspace, and moved some of the components around. The left wing is now on a rotisserie for it to get started. Removed and fixed the elevator control rod, its bend had to get tweaked and I also re-painted it. Re-assembly went well and it's back on. The left wing is out and it's had gussets and the tip drag tubes installed. Then it was flipped over to start working on the lift struts and their brackets. All of the drilling, deburring, and painting are done so next is roughing surfaces, prepping hysol, then riveting those on. I broke one of my baggage door rods after installing a cam lock, so I'll have to do a larger aluminum tube for that access point. Assembly of the propeller is done, and it's been attached to the prop spacer. I'm still waiting on the Skytrax gearbox. Steve stopped by and dropped off the engine mount with a bunch of other goodies....
