Next week, and after the fuselage registrations have been applied, the following is the list of jobs to get on with:
1. Tailwheel fitted (already overhauled and painted up)
2. Seatbelt harness fitted (already overhauled and length checked).
3. Rudder cables fitted.
4. Fuel tank installed and connected up (already overhauled, pressure tested and new filler cap installed).
5. Windshield fitted (already made, just needs bolting on).
6. Full IFR panel fitted* (as above)
Then, it's a case of temporarily dismantling the polythene cocoon we have been working in, to allow us to do a trial assembly of the fuse/wing.
Excitement on the 10 scale has now reached 9.9993....
* Yeah, ok, I was kidding. We are both purists, and have kept it as simple and authentic as possible. Pic available if desired.
