Its been a while but I have been tinkering along....slowly.

The wing panels are now in the hands of the finishing artist.

The fuse still has some detail work to do but I have been filling and sanding a little at a time.

I removed the motor (had to cut out a touch more around it to get it out.

I still have to place it back in and setup the nose ring which is already made.

I finally secured the blind nuts for good (epoxy) on the back of the firewall using spacer/donuts for extra support.

I also found some nylon washers for the landing gear screws...should protect the c.f. gear plate nicely.
