So I’m totally behind on getting my videos edited, but still making lots of progress on the build. (So much in fact that I think I’m working faster than my budget will allow).
Currently I have assembled and match drilled both elevators and have them disassembled for deburring. Local weather is not allowing me to have long build sessions in the Garage due to high temps and high humidity, so I think for the next week it’s just going to be 10-15 min sessions at a time so I don’t overheat. I really don’t have the desire to install an overpriced AC in my garage.
Looking ahead I have another tube of proseal on order and planning out what is needed to get my parts cleaned up, deburred, primed, and ready for dimpling / assembly. Mostly trying to do all the proseal on the Elevators and Trim Tabs in one go.
I’m also looking ahead at the tail cone and storage of parts. I’m quickly running out of wall and ceiling space, so trying to come up with solutions. either by removing some of my overhead storage to make room for the tailcone, or making a crate to put the tailcone in to protect it if it’s going to live on the floor. Also looking at budget to determine when I can order the wings to minimize “down time” waiting for them to be fabricated / delivered. Still hoping to have them delivered in early January if possible.
