I'm in a busy period at work now, with a bunch of travel.

Last weekend Bruce MacKinnon came over to help me finish riveting the flap fairing. Even with his help there were several holes where I had to use blind rivets. Then I did some wiring bundle cleanup under the floor. Last week I spent several days on the road doing some flight testing, and I managed to pick up a cold at the end of the trip. So I was a bit under the weather after I got home and didn't get much done until today.

Today I attacked the wiring bundles in the rear fuselage. I had ran the bundles a long time ago, but I subsequently had to run one more wire, and I had realized that some of the bundles could chafe in some places. Better to prevent the chafing now than have to do a repair back there later.


It is a royal PITA to work in the rear fuselage. It is so cramped back there that you have to figure out which arms you need to have over your head before you get back too far. Once you are far enough in your elbows hit the fuselage before you can get your arm over your head. And of course once you worm your way in, you always find you need one more tool.
