This is where I will make periodic entries regarding the build progress of my kit. I will post photos, and discuss work completed or problems encountered.

Fitting rudder ribs, seatbelts, and stringers

Post by MikeFairbanks »

So for todays update I finally cut the slots in the seat pan for the seat belts, and trimmed the sides of the sides of the seat pan flush with the door frame. I did the initial fitting of the rudder ribs, and glued stiffeners to those that require them. I do have a question about the top rudder rib though... if you extend the line of the top v-stab rib, it sits well below the top of the rudder... but if you push it up against the top rudder tube then it looks terrible. I finished up this session by starting the fitting of the fuselage stringers.
