Well I have been kind of all over the place just having fun. I'm gearing up to start focusing on the front deck as you can see in the last pic.
Test fitting all the fuel lines I ordered from Tom S. Great guy to deal with!

Finished rigging the flap motor and installed it in the fuselage. Van's only calls for an AN365 here but
these guys give me the warm and fuzzies. I'm using them on my control linkages too. For only a little bit of money and what I think is added safety it is worth it.

Trimmed up some rudder cable fairings and drilled them to the fuselage.

Installed the controls after spending quite some hours getting the fit of things just right with the brass bushings. It was time well spent, these things feel like they glide on air.

Started yesterday on the front deck, crazy to think that this section is the last of the major metal work.
