Finished the inventory/comparison. Most parts are there. The instrument panel is there but has a big cutout in the middle, previous builders plan was to have an instrument panel made professionally. The flap actuator is missing - previous builder was going with a different, better one (I went ahead and ordered it). The tailwheel is missing - previous builder was going to go with a better, aftermarket one.
Now Kelly and I have to do the training kits (tool box, practice tail surface, and light box) to teach her how to rivet and refresh me - it's been about 25 years since I learned whiie getting my Airframe Mechanic license. Once we do that, then I will feel better about getting started. Not having done the empennage kit, there is some catching up to do. Anxious to get started.
