After a lot of issues outside of the plane build (the biggest being a garage fire - no not the one with my plane!! that would have been an utter catastrophe) I have made slow progress. Most of it isn't visible from the outside.
1 - Fit the baggage side stiffeners and aft panel
2 - Fit the 904 attach straps
3 - Fit the rudder pedal assembly and drilled 3 positions (if I want to move them)
4 - Completed the forward fuselage structure to support the engine and firewall. This included a few gusset plates and fabrication
I hope to have this done for when Chris gets home from school and I just made it! Now the long slog to dissasemble, debur, clean, dimple, and prime a whole lot of parts!! Oh, and possibly a vacation in between!
