Section 9 Nutted

I only had the opportunity for a very quick session tonight, like 20 minutes,  after the paying job, but it was enough to finish the stabilator and therefore  Section 9 in the manual.

Work tonight involved temporarily fitting the counterweight arm to the stabilator assembly,  match drilling the lead counterweights and fitting the counterweights to the counterweight arm.

It's all done, goodbye Section 9.

You would not have to be too observant to see that I am already running out of storage places  for completed parts, I really do need to give that some serious attention. The bits that are coming are even larger, we might have to move out of the house....................

Next it's hello tailcone. That is the kind of cigar shaped cylindrical part between the tail section, now completed and the bit you sit in, roughly between the wings. For those of you foolish enough to be regularly keeping up with progress, you'll need to be patient. On Friday we embark on a 1 week houseboat voyage on the Murray River with Tim & Kylie, Remy and Danger (Taylor), Kylie's Mum and Emu (Greg) and Sue. I'll post some photos on our return. This should provide some light relief for those of you who are bored witless by aircraft construction.

See you then!
