Plans: 1. Finish the engine cover blister. Status: Complete. After sanding the body filler I painted the surface with some self-etching primer. The blister looks good enough for final painting. I may still redo this some day in the future if I have time. At the moment it is good enough. 2. Start fabric covering. Status: All the rivets and edges need anti-chafe tape applied. This will prevent the fabric from tearing over time. Rather than take things apart I elected to do as much taping as possible while assembled. At the moment I have the right lower wing's trailing edge taped. The tape doesn't stick very well so some additional wraps needed to be made.
Note: I made some measurements to have a custom throttle cable made. Pegasus Auto Racing provides this service.
