After several years in the drawer waiting for this memorable moment, I have finally been able to place Captain Paul Sabo where he deserves. I didn't want to do it until the canopy was finished.

Although, as I mentioned, I have conditioned the development of the instrumentation to the flight test, it is essential to have the pilot well seated and with a minimum of details. Thus, at least the rearview fairing, the upper canopy hinge and the gun sight collimator give an aceptable exterior appearance for the first flights. I even dared to put the machine guns.

So, next step is to rescue the engines from the drawer, retest them on the bench and mount them on the plane.
