It is slowly starting to look like an airplane again. Nearly all of the fabrication is complete, so now it is mostly down to wiring and assembly. The "to do" list is growing shorter ever week...
COSMETICS
Gill shutters painted gloss black and installed.
Main air bottle painted gloss black and installed.
CONTROL SURFACES
Rudder with electric trim is test fit...all the control surfaces are ready for installation. This aircraft is getting 3 axis electric trim, which is a nice feature that allows trimming of the aircraft hands off for any speed and configuration, as opposed to the one speed and configuration with the stock trim tabs.
SHEETMETAL
This is part of the baggage compartment. The door shown here allows easy access to a US standard APU port which is wired to allow both full aircraft power, and trickle charge the batteries.
Front and rear right side panels cut and ready for powder coat.
