So... I got the adapter nut at the LHS. For $3.71 (not $5.69 like at TH); my LHS has great prices.

He didn't have graphite lubricant, or a hand drill though. The hand drill's not a biggie, I can always use my Dremel. But I wanted the graphite to lubricate the pushrods. And my tailwheel, 'cause it squeaks.

I also went to Lowe's, but they were sold out. They said they should have more tomorrow, because it was scheduled to be in then. Maybe I'll go back then, maybe I'll just wait on it until the weekend (I may do some final assembly at the in-laws while we're visiting).

Anywho, that's the updates for now. Hopefully, I'll get that starburst on the wing soon. I just seem to have lost interest in covering after having done so much of it.
