Installing Steps

I'm installing the steps. Much easier to get up onto the wing. Some folks use a step stool but I don't want anyone getting in a hurry and jumping on the flaps and damaging them.






















Directions said to first install the side panel in the baggage compartment and then refer to the instructions for the optional steps. First thing the instructions for the step said was to remove the side panel. Go figure. Lots of drilling out rivets.

Fitting the Two Upper Fuselage Skins

I'm fitting the two upper aft fuselage skins. Makes it look like a real airplane. Before this, I fabricated and installed several gussets.
