* Once again I got a lot done today. The seam at the upper fuselage joint was sanded and primed. So was the rudder and instrument panel. They need more since it goes on rather thin but it is looking a whole lot better than it did.
* With the brake/rudder pedals installed I managed to get the rudder cables & pulleys in. They move smooth as silk. I'm looking forward to sitting in the seats and making airplane noises.
* Constructed the flute tube supports and bolted the flute tubes onto them. I did not get the supports bolted in yet.
* WOW, things are looking good. Fuel tanks are on their way and Bill-of-Sale has been sent to me. It won't be long before I start on the wings and have to decide on a color scheme so I can get an interior.
Fuselage back and vertical stab is getting white sandable primer
It is realty starting to come together.
The pedals, rudder cables & pulleys are in. The flute tube supports are made and attached to the flute tubes (for pedal adjustment).
