In preparation for canopy install I had to finishing up a few things in the aft fuselage area first. Now that I have my empennage fairing and could tell exactly where it was going to go I finished my ELT antenna install which I elected to have underneath the tail fairing. With the mount made I also finished up securing the coax wire for the antenna.
With the ELT antenna complete I closed up the rear fuselage skins and then it was on to installing the baggage door. I had my son Kody get inside the plane in the baggage compartment which he thought was kind of cool and hold a block of wood so I could drill from the outside in thru the hinge for the door.
Lastly, I swapped out the bolts for the engine mount with drilled bolts and castellated nuts. It just makes me feel better knowing there is something mechanical preventing those nuts from coming off.
