Finishing kit in...
Howdy all!
My finishing kit arrived this week and I had to be a bit creative about how to store all the big goodies ... the canopy especially ... in my rapidly filling up shop/garage.
I was surprised by the lack of blue-plastic-covered parts, especially after the wing and fuse kits. The cowl is a pretty pink (Hey, family, it's a girl!), and probably has more surface area than the blue plastic covered aluminum in this kit by at least a factor of two.
After a bit of creative shelving, recycling the shipping crate, I have a place to park the canopy.
I needed a new, lower, carriage for the fuse, so I used the top of the crate plus some extra 2x4's to make a stable base. Height to the bottom of the fuse ~17 inches.
The under area is a nice shelf to store the seat back, panel, and any other big flat items.
This is the last "cheap" purchase before the engine and avionics .. it feels like I'm getting a bit closer to the end of the tunnel. Happy to see that the this instruction manual has "flight test" as the final chapter.
And, hey, the engine mount fits!
Keep poundin!
Thanks to you all for the never ending help and motivation.
