Steadily making progress towards completion! Crossing items off my punch list feels good!
Over the past few weeks my son and I have installed the wings, and gotten all of the bolts on and cotter pinned in place. Tip strobe/LEDs are installed and functioning.
Today I got the landing light wired in, and I get to make a second attempt at trimming the lense (messed up the first one after tanking the 6 months break and completely trimming away the excess plexi around the opening pattern I traced last summer -- oops).
Wing root doubler and wing walk is trimmed, and installed with the VANS rubber seal.
Last big project is the surgery on the nose wheel pant. I am very close to having this finished. Ended up with a nice two piece wheel pant that will be removable without taking the nose strut off the engine mount.
Finishing up the painting/vinyl on the ailerons and then balancing these before installation:
Later this week I am heading to Oshkosh to conduct T-Flight training with Joe Norris. Looking forward to this valuable experience, and also getting my paper work submitted to the FAA sometime this month!
