Just pottering around at present, I'd like to get the painting of the canopy frame completed before moving onto something else, but its been too windy, I was not overly concerned about the engine mount attracting a little dust, but it actully worked out OK as the garage was pretty much breeze free, it still needs another coat to hide the etch primer properly. In my attempt to make progress I also drilled the holes in pins that the gas struts mount to with a 1/16 hole and fitted the requried washer and split pin. I also made the final payment today on my Jabiru 3300 engine today, which means that it should be shipping within the next week. This will either be good or bad as I am running out of room in the garage.
