While waiting for the turn coordinator, work on the instrument panel has stopped! So we worked on the motor mounts, radiator housing, fixed the vertical fin, and then opened the last big box of parts and put together a couple of flimsy ladders. We had to add a few pop rivets to hold them all together though. It's getting cooler at night and a little better during the days, so we might get back at it full-tilt soon.

 . . . and out of my way. |
 They missed it by that much. (as per PA) |
 Added the small rivets. |

22 weekends now, and our list of needed items keeps growing. We finished fitting the radiator and housing (need an oil cooler), added some more wiring (need a battery), assembled and installed the choke lever (need a motor), began brainstorming about the deck reinforcement and front bulkhead placement (need adhesives), made a better front hatch (need cooler weather!), then stood around because someone needed a cover shot! All-in-all, a good weekend!

 Don’t ask! Don’t tell! |

Weekend 23 was long and hot, but we got a lot done with the wings and things—need I say more!
