Progress has been good this week.

Tailwheel is now on:




Mounting brackets for the stabiliser have also gone on:




Next it was a case of getting the rollover bar and windscreen fitted. This was finished off with some neat trim around the perspex:







The finished job:




There were some annoying bits of dust that had got trapped so we decided to blast them out:




We will be adding some trim where the windscreen meets the fuselage, mainly to ensure no air creeps underneath, and also for aesthetics.




The fuel tank was tricky to get in, but we managed it eventually:











Sam spent a fair bit of the morning like this...!






Firewall all installed:





Rudder cables are installed and ready for crimping at the correct length when the rudder goes on, and the pilot harness cables are all ready for a simple attachment to the harness when it goes in.

The panel will be going in next, followed by some trim on the side of the cockpit/fuselage side. After that, and a few other smallish jobs, we will be putting the undercarriage on the wing, ready for trial wing/fuselage assembly....

Would write more, but pretty tied up with other bits and pieces this afternoon.
