Fuselage partially taken apart again and most 2nd Edition parts added to the rear fuselage. Wow, all these new stiffeners sure make the rear fuselage a lot stronger.
On the up side:: 1. A lot more space in the Man Hut 2. Propane Heater, Beer Frdge and WiFi are working great 3. Electric compressor works off the grid, still needs the havey Duty extension cord but the generator is no longer needed.
On the down side: 1. All paint cans went through freeze/thaw. I hope the paint is not ruined. 2. What did I do with the HomeBuilt Help Video discs.? 3. Where did I pack the flap control parts that are next to be installed in the rear fuselage
I think galvanizing the steel parts may be better than painting or powder coating the steel parts. Hopefully the cost extimate is not going to break the bank.
