Today I was finally able to take the airframe off the sawhorses and sit it on its own legs! With the help of some couch cusions I then got to sit and make airplane noises and play with the controls for 20 minutes. Feels good!
Still to do: - Install exhaust - Install oil cooler - Install Aerocarb - Hang engine - Canopy - Cowl - Firewall forward plumbing - Smoke oil lines to exhaust - Cabin heat muff & hose - Install prop - Buy and install avionics - Cockpit-side wiring - Upholstery - Inspection covers - Fuel shut-off control - Rivet bottom skin
But other than that 80% to go, I'm 80% done! ;-)
Finally sittiing on its own legs!
The tailwheel finally gets to touch down.
Couch cusions allowed me to sit and make airplane noises!
