Removed the Rudder Pedals, cleaned up the flox lumps and bumps and sanded surrounds. Wound the Canard bolts out a bit until the end is flush with the back of the nutplate, and put a dob of assembly grease on the end. Put a small piece of masking tape over the Rudder Pedal nutplates, and marked the centre.
Bogged up gaps, prepped the foam and faired the back of the Canard nutplates with flox.
1 x BID over the back of the Canard nutplates.
3 x BID over the Rudder Pedal hardpoints, using up ALL my BID scraps.
Peel plied all edges.
Trial installed EZ Noselift & Nose Gear, (without wheel). Extended gear and checked castor roughly, looks OK.
Retracted gear manually until nose fork touches fuselage. Way fun.
