* Got lots done the last few days. The seam at the upper fuselage joint was sanded, filled and sanded again. It is almost ready to paint with sandable primer. Also, filled & sanded the instrument panel, horizontal stabilizers, elevators and trim tab. That still needs work before painting. Assembled the brake/rudder pedals and fabricated the support beams for them. Installed pedal assembly. Everything moves perfectly. Now it is ready to fabricate the flute tube support and add rudder cables.
Sanded the seam, filled the voids and sanded again.
The top of the panel was pretty scratched so it was filled and sanded. It will get painted before it get put back on the plane.
All lined up per the instructions
View from inside cockpit. Everything swings free.
