Brief Description: Finished throttle console and started on aft bagga
Today was Saturday and Vick was out shopping all day with her Mom. I took advantage of the time alone and finished the throttle console. It took a lot of time because I had to prime and paint each piece. That is 4 coats of primer and paint, with adequate drying time between each coat. Next, I tackled the rear baggage compartment. I started by fabricating, priming and riveting the elevator control horn brackets. Then, I roughed out the 4 pieces which will make up the aft baggage compartment. Three of the lower pieces will be riveted into the structure and the upper piece will recieve nutplates, making it removable to access the aft part of the fuselage.
