I have been working a lot of little tasks or at least tasks that dont have much to show for themselves. With my stepdads help I installed the Comm2 antenna. We also temp installed the left wing so that I could finalize the fuel tubing and the wire lengths and connections for the wing root to fuselage connection. I took a few tries to get the fuel tubing right just because the bends were short and tight for the tooling that I had. I ended up having to buy some AN6 swivel ends. After I finished the left wing and with the help of some neighbors we took the left wing off and temp installed the right wing. Now that side is also done. Also while the wings were installed I fitted the wing root fairings and installed most of the rivnuts for those. I do really hate installing rivnuts.
I also worked my upper avionics fiberglass panel. It wanst fitting right from the factory so I had to put some relief cuts and reinforced it with more fibrblass from the back and then used some fill on the front and sanded it smooth.
Also exciting was that I received my avionics panel from Midwest Panel Builders. There were a few problems: The color I ordered is not what they received from their supplier so I chose to just accept what they had, also my dimmer panel had the wrong word on it but they ordered a new piece and made it right. Lastly, I didnt know I needed to order all the switches and stuff separately but I didnt get any of that stuff. I subsequently ordered them and then I received some of the wrong color light bulbs but once again Midwest made things right. Overall I am very happy with the panel.
Finally this month I went to install my rear seats using the supplied Dzus fasteners. First I didnt know how to install them so I had to do some research, second I dont have the flaring tool for the grommets and third I dont know what size the grommets are. Once I figure that out I'll have to order some more tools.
Oh and I almost forgot, the biggest thing I have spent time on lately is sanding the epoxy filler that I put in the rivet heads smooth. What a time killer and not very much fun.
