The Third weekend came and went. We got a lot done and it all went quite well. We removed the fuselage after we fitted it so I could paint the inside of the hull with a Silver-Gray ZolaTone splatter finish (Auto, industrial and Marine) $37.95 per quart looks great. It gives a nice contrast to all of the Aluminum and adds very little weight.
 4:00 AM Saturday I seem to have woke up the Supervisor |
 Standing on its own three legs, Saturday morning. |
 Fuselage and Joysticks installed. |
|
 Nice contrast? Would look better if we had seats! |
 Sunday: Throttle and brake lever installed. |
 Over locks, Aileron Tie rods and Bell crank. |
 Elevator Push-pull tube, over sleeve and guide. |
 All of the Flight Controls installed. |
 Sunday afternoon JJ and David relaxing a bit (load & stress testing). |
It was quiet and lonely, but I got a lot done: fitting and lubing the cables and control links, plumbing the fuel tank and the bilge pump, (Note to self: Install bilge pump before installing the fuel tank/fuselag,) played with the bungee cords, and made motor sounds & wished we had the seats. Maybe next week we'll install the Turtle Deck.
