Brief Description: Fusalage condition Inspection

Overall condition inspection. Assessment of work required to finish project. Noted several deficiencies that need correction: 1. hinges on tail surfaces do not provide sufficient clearance for standard AN hinge pins to be inserted. 2. Canopy hinges constructed without enough throw to permit the canopy to remain open without support. 3. Fabric condition on tail deteriorating - finished through pink only. 4. Cowling fitment short - did not extend far enough beyond beginning of fabric on fusalage 5. wheels and brakes not complete - axle spacers missing. 6. Canopy rubbing on fusalage and abrading fabric 7. Engine instruments and wiring inop. 8. multiple fittings/bolts wrong size or not proper type 9. Canopy cracked and stop drilled front right
