Weekend Progress

The weather really cooperated this weekend. Marie and I spent most of Saturday and part of today at the hangar.

We started off by checking control surface deflections and then checked cable tensions. Made some small adjustments and then we safetied the turnbuckles.

Today we began to install the headliner. We didn’t finish it quite yet.

I also changed out the aluminum tubing for the pitot and static lines with rubber hoses.
