Looking good! I remember rebuilding the LE of the wings... super awkward positions to buck those rivets. Keep it up.

Thanks!
It is a bit difficult with my super short arms! I am managing many but need my son to come home from University to help me on the rest.
Soldiering on!

ADAHRS
Waiting/looking for a rivet partner so I installed the ADAHRS and mounting bracket that Vans now sells

It is pretty darn good. I would caution that the tab stops in my case were 90% correct but I needed to adjust elevation at the right rear tab to maintain level.
This would be facing the tail. This is just my case, your application may not need any adjustment.

Ya...I need to cut an access in the rear baffle bay one. I am installing fuel return so I am in it anyway. Pro-seal? Looks like Vans doesn't sell it anymore.
Is the new stuff OK? Do you know?

Yep I used the stuff that Van's sells. Just a replacement for the old. Works great.
