    Setup and torqued the tailwheel
    Attached jury struts
    Cutout and shaped wing root fairings (more to do there)
    Installed seat belts, added "Experimental" placard
    Put on the new tires
    Mounted the prop

    To do: install butt rib closeouts (cut and painted), strakes on turtledeck, rig controls, mount doors, add N number, engine checklist and first start....
    Getting closer!

    Mounted doors (need to find some hinge pins)
    Trim, drilled, attached butt rib closeouts
    Found a way to get the wing strut washers in place

    Next: wing root fairings, rig controls, weight and balance, strakes, turtle deck, adjust prop, engine startup check list

    Began installing a manifold balance tube modification. Managed to install the machined manifolds and set up to measure the balance tube cut lengths.

    Wow, that's a neat photo, Harlan. Almost looks like a model airplane on a carefully prepared miniature photo set!
