| September 8, 2008 we finally joined the tail for good with another tail party |
|
| Ready to insulate under the floors with Abesco FP-200 fireproof foam insulation |
|
| Shooting in the insulation through lightening holes. Drilled holes for rear floors. |
|
| I replaced Van's brake bracket with my own design to accommodate the parking brake |
|
| Built a shelf for mounting an AHARS and/or a Magnometer. |
|
| Baggage floors ready to close. Notice steps & insulation |
|
| Fuel pump & filter in tunnel; brake lines done; lots of wire pulled |
|
 |
|
| Tail is attached! Moving on... |
|
| Two cans of Abesco FP-200. Works like Great Stuff but expands less. Not quite as messy. |
|
| After a day or two the foam is set |
|
| The dried foam is easy to "snap" off. Any droppings are simply sanded off. |
|
| Had the steps chromed. Look great. Polished & primed the shafts, coating outside with T-9 |
|
| Riveting the baggage and rear seat floors. Hope I put enough conduit in for all the wiring. |
|
| Finish Kit arrives 14 Jan 2009. |
|
| Moved the fuselage on 21 July, 2009 to the hangar. Wings already there from last week. |
