More Fuselage Work
The nose is squared up and the nose wrap is drilled
and clecoed in place.
The end of the boom tube is notched out for the aileron
horn at the control torque tube. I used a saber saw, files, and
a drum sander.
The fuselage is squared up. This time I used a variant
of the old packing tape and screwdriver trick by substituting
a hammer
Also visible are the rear rudder pedals and the finished
front seat.
Here are the front rudder pedals and the nose knuckle.
The front pedals are connected to the rear pedals and to each
other. I can sit inside and push the pedals and move the stick.
Yeee haaaaaw!!!!
Both seats are done, and it's really starting to look
like an airplane... or a helicopter... or a go-cart... or something...
