Hi Pappy,

I was talking mostly about the getting the gages in the instrument panel to line up when gluing the panel to the bulkhead. It's my skill level that's the problem. It will be good enough for what you are going to be able to see with the canopy on. [:@]

I bought myself a couple of sharpie's the other day for just that use but didn't think of pencils, I also got some graphite chalk but haven't started that yet.

Do I want the gun site on now? Might it be in the way during installation?

Thanks for posting pictures of your work Bob, your interest has rekindled mine, thanks! I will cover the fuselage installation, no problem.
You've got to be the busiest guy in the world with all you do.

Do I want to install the F-1 and F-2 Formers before I cut the old floor out and extend the cockpit hole. If so, where do they go.. It seems like it would maybe support things more while you are cutting. Speaking of cutting, I'm thinking of an abrasive wheel on a dremel?

I must not have a handle on how this goes in yet, if you look at last picture you can see the formers aren't anywhere near level so they must not be where their supposed to be.

Forgot to mention, turn the control stick around!
I knew that be kinda hard to do a hard dive with out busting your knuckles
