Brief Description: Step, last day

Riveted these on with Chad Jensen's help, filleted the proseal and wiped most off that squeezed out. Internal block was bolted and torqued. I also added one of the baggage side walls on, and threaded rudder cables through (HINT - do before baggage walls, and note that all the grommet bushings need to be popped out, slipped on the cable attachment, then popped back in the cable holes along the bulkheads). Now, time to debate adding an extended baggage compartment for some 'offroading' scratchbuilding. I will likely add a second compartment behind the first and up high for lightweight items only (sleeping bags, jackets) and to make a customs agent nervous. After consulting with various builders, I will proceed. I also ran some weight and balance checksthrough Dan Checkoway's website, using a plane's data that is configured as I envision. I can put over 40 lbs back there and still be within acceptable CG, even with two dudes my size, full fuel, and 100 lbs of baggage in the main compartment. Sweeeet!
