Marching Forward....

It's been quite a month and it's not yet over.  This month I have the luggage door pretty much together.  I can't complete it entirely until the top skin is attached and that won't happen for a few months.  I got the main floor together and attached to the wing spar.  The rudder pedals are installed with the only thing left there is to attach the rudder cables to them.  I also started working on the control toque tube installation.  That's going to take a little bit to accomplish as I'd like to have them set in there and operating very smooth before finishing that up.

Over the next week I will get that finished up and then start mating the rear fuselage to the center section.  If all goes well the plan will be to have the main fuselage on the wheels and off the bench so I can finish up the work on the wings.  The hinge replacement left CA today and will likely be here next week with all the supporting parts.  Once I finish the hinge replacement I will be able to finish getting the fuel tanks onto the main wings.  Just to refresh, the hinge for the right wing was the wrong hinge (bent left instead of right), so I have to remove the bottom skin, change that out and then reattach the skins.  Not what I was looking forward to doing, but it should go pretty smoothly.
