Brief Description:  General Cleaning of of the Fuse

The fuse has really never been cleaned from it's arrival from Clifford's place. Nows the time... It is very difficult to clean inside the gear leg towers. Started with a fiberglass tent pole and microfiber cloth with simle green for aircraft. Sometimes I feel like I am not just build, but perhaps restoring, since I pretty much have to clean every part before I can work with it.

Also, most of the loose parts, yuo can't read the part number anymore... it's not really a problem as these parts all have a unique shape and can be identified.

Also, decided to remove the girdle springs (control rod trim springs) for now. I am not really sure if they are required, I plan to install dynon AP and Skyview as the main avionic - at least that's the plan for now...

Also, notice the support for the read control column. This will be replaced with a new part called out by Van's.
