I haven't posted project progress for a while. Currently in the middle of the fuselage. Pictured is the baggage floor and ribs, mounted aft of the channel where wings attach. This work is done on a low profile work surface that i call the 'coffee table'. Also pictured are the seat ribs that will be placed forward of the channel piece.

Nav lights.

Nav lights nearly done. Involved working with epoxy/flox, wiring, and this morning- fuel tank sealant. Once cured, this will be done and I move on to the flaperons.

Landing lights done... now on to closing out the wings and working on nav lights.

Wiring the landing lights now. Lots of crimping open barrel terminals. Some cursing and several band aids. Yellow terminal pics show progression (open, bear hug insulation, B-crimp conductor).

Working on the inboard wing skins/doubler.

Thought this might be fun to see how the LP4-3 rivets compress.

07/30/2026

2 top skins remain. After that, landing and nav light installations.

Now starting to install top wing skins.
