Tonight...
...my friend Brent and I finished up riveting the forward fuselage and...
FLIPPED THE CANOE!
w000000t!
Still a long way to go, but it sure feels great to see 'er upright.

Now where did I put that paddle?
Despite my efforts to make this the longest build in history, I do sometimes make progress.

Nice Job Brad!
I am jealous,  that looks real nice.
I just finished b/h 604 and am almost done with 605.
The fuselage appears to be more of a challenge than the wings.
What was your experience?

Thanks!
Yea, I would agree. There seem to be more oppotunity for mishaps with the fuse. I've had a few issues, most of them self-created (as you know  ), but with the help of friends and VAF I've managed to stumble through them and forge on.
I keep telling myself... the next one will be perfect!

Well this week I:
Removed everything from the panel, primed and painted it:
The color is screwy in these pics...It matches the trim in my seats better than what shows on these shots..........
Installed the MP hose and fittings
Installed the top half of the exhaust
Labeled the panel
Riveted a few spots that I have been dreading and putting off for what seems like years. Not so bad, IF you have a tungsten bar and snap socks from Avery's!
Cleaned up the area where I hacked off the rib that centers my Dynon's and used the part I cut off to make a new rib... Just added a piece of angle and riveted it on. I also ordered a new rib and cut it off and made the third one. I used the original PP holes to rivet it to the subpanel. I just cut it and folded it over to make a flange.
Installed a bunch of nutplates, made the lower panel to fuse brackets and riveted them suckers in...
 .

Wife See's the light
My wife Kathy helped me drill my side rails today. Had to give her the
electric drill but she can see the light.
