I had to drill out the rivets holding the temporary crosspiece where the front deck needs to be installed. One of the pop rivet pins evidently was not pulled out when popping the rivet in the Philippines. This made the removal difficult. When this cross was removed, we then clecoed in place all the main structures comprising the forward deck. (See Image #1) We had a panel sent in the finishing kit that we didn't need since Aerotronics was making our panel. This can be seen in Image #2. We then noticed that the radio stack in the Aerotronics panel was directly under the center bracing rib. I called Jason and he said that there should be room. I guess I will soon see since the REAL panel will be here tomorrow afternoon late..... We want to put the wheels on next so while I was cleaning the threads of primer on the landing gear legs and putting the axle nut on, Claude built an extension on one of our saw horses so we will have room to install the main wheels.
