Walt, you are welcome.

You are at the right place in construction to consider the modification in this post

Cover it with matching carpet like on the floorboard.

Take care.

Default 400 hours (over 9 months) in and mid wing kit.

I'm not nearly as far along as most of the posts in this thread. I just got to the 400 hour mark. But, here's where I am:

One wing with the top skins riveted in place (photo shows it in the cleco'd stage):






I have also completed one outboard leading edge assy, and have the 2nd dimpled and cleco'd back together for final riveting, but i don't have those pictures uploaded at the moment. After I get that riveted, it'll be time to get the 2nd wing assembled and top skins on. I still need to build a wing cradle first.

Nice. I'm wishing I was at that point. I also like how you've stowed your tail cone.

Stuewe,

Coming along nicely and see, there is always somebody behind you who wishes to be where you are.
I have no time in December to build so I am just cheering you on.
Looking good!

I did something similiar with my tailcone. It flew at the top of my garage for over a year. I converted a couple of hoists that used to have the kid's bikes on them. While I paid considerable more ten years ago, I've seen the hoists for sale a Harbor Freight for $10.

Default Cabin done

After what seems to be a never ending job of sanding, filling, priming, I have done the final priming on the cabin and have also removed the protective plastic.
