I've got the tail cone in the back, the mid fuselage in the middle, the firewall section at the front, and two wing spars scattered amongst them. But there's a reason: when I hit a stopping place on one section (waiting for a parts order or whatever), I can keep moving in another area. Not that much has happened this semester but after May 15th... Graduation!

It was my pleasure helping. Thanks for the practice. More importantly, thanks (ahead of time) for all the stupid questions I'm going to ask you during my build!
Garage is almost done, my parts and tools are axiously waiting, and I'll start playing with Kitlog to get a site up and running for my pics. I can't wait to start pounding (my own) rivets!!

Default We finally finished the doors, cabin cover and overhead console

Section 43 through 45 are done! The Aerosport Overhead has been installed, the headliner is in work and the door handles installed. The Overhead console looks great, the lights are not yet mounted but will be completed when I start the wiring. Sean's door latch works like a charm and the McMaster Carr seal makes the whole setup look factory. I am setting the whole thing aside to begin with the wings and then on to the electrical and the panel. We will also be using the Aerosport STD panel with a 3 screen G3X system very similar to Sean's. It hurt to spend $500 on the vents, but they sure look good! The paint is a satin finish to match the Aerosport Tan interior panels. All the glass will be installed when the cabin cover is permanently attached after the wiring.

Default Progress..

Dwight,

I commend you on some great progress. Let me know if I can help you hang the wings. I have another friend who is interested as well and is very mechanically inclined. He's the special project's engineer for my company. Give me a call if you're planning hangar activities for this weekend.

Default SW

Thanks Mike, see you again soon.

Bill, thanks, it looks great from 10 ft away . I used S-W JetGlo Express. Really liked it, turned out great (except for all the mistakes I made, not the paint's fault). Found it pretty easy to spray.

Dwight
