Catching up on the documentation

It's been a while since I updated my blog post.  Most of my documentation efforts have been done through my YouTube channel (which at this writing has 625 subscribers - thank you!).  My intent on the videos isn't so much about subscribers but a video documentation of the phases of the build.  I do have to admit it is fun interacting with the building community through the YT posts and watching the channel grow.  

I do have plans for the channel going into the future.  Hopefully I'll get better at my videography and content development, but that will be when I have time to focus on it more.

In the months since my last post I've put together 8 videos and two more are set to be published shortly after I update this post.  I'm actually at a phase now where I'm almost out of things to rivet!  Yes there are some left to do, but it's probably less than a few hundred.  Considering there are several thousand in the kit I'm definitely on the downside on that part of the build.

Just looking back over the videos I've completed the skins on the inside, got the firewall forward going, engine mounted, canopy on (that was scary), more firewall work, a failed air compressor (my fault), working on getting the fuel fittings together, heater install, uninstall, install, uninstall and so on until I got it just right.  That's been a huge pain.

Anyway - this post serves as a roll up of these events in both pictures and videos.
