* Installed the peddle position adjuster flute tube and vertical supports. They are temporarily screwed to the firewall. Temporary since the SST firewall still needs to go on. Crossed the rudder cables with the right side over the left then through the guide blocks.
* I did a light sanding over the fuselage upper seam and horizontal stab/fuselage joint after applying more sandable primer. That is looking good so I turned the fuselage over and am now starting on the bottom joints and seams to smooth all that out.
* Since I want the instrument panel to go in and stay in I painted it. It is the same paint that is on my new Ram truck. It looks pretty good. Sanding marks show some but not too bad. It may be too glossy but we'll see later.
Lots of sanding to get to this point. I think it looks pretty good, although a professional probably would like to do it over again.
The square holes are for the canopy hinges.
