Time for choke and throttle set up

Throttle first

Throttle done...Choke is next

Done deal!!

Forgot to add the hatch for the carb

What did you wrap the exhaust ring with?Will that help it to run cooler in the cowl? or is that just for shipping?

Hatches located

Awesome sauce 😜

I used material cut from the cowl for the hatches so they will have the correct curve in them

Swordson that's actually the plastic wrap on the ring...I won't wrap anything around it because the engine runs at less than moderate temps

Now I'll just cut these out for my openings then I'll get the fuel tank installled

Batteries came in today....I know, it's old school but I like em😎Two 5000 for the rx and one 4200 for the ignition

Drill and tap

Done deal

Get my rudder/tailwheel tray cut and installed

Tray is set....now to let it cure then add the fuel tank mount

Getting there

Doesn't look like much but it gets the fuse real close to paint ready 😃

Some news about my La-7:

I add some paint job of small parts, the entire gear, and now I am to make weathering on the wings. This jobs are long to go, but the result is good.
I post you some pictures when i have finish the paint on the wings.
Stay on-line!

Jimmy: you got an good job to, and you make good progress...continue so!

Thanks Warbird I'm getting excited now that the paint is getting closer. I'm looking forward to seeing you final paint. Have you done any calculation on a final weight yet? Not sure where I'll end up yet but as of now the fuse as it is with the engine weighs 22lbs. From there I'll add the batteries, wings, landing gear, cowl prop and spinner, and elevators and rudder. We will see😃
Fuse is ready for sanding and paint

Rivets made easy 😃

Let the putty cure then it's sand paint and finish it out

Ready for paint😃

Let cure then glue canopy to frame
