Doug Eves sent this photo of the Ol' girl in flight. Taken from the ground, this is a great shot. You can see he is "relaxing" in his office in the sky...

Tank baffle is installed

I have gotten the tank back baffle plate installed over the last few days. I got all the ribs installed last week. I have to wait a week or so to let the pro-seal set up before I can install the rest of the components in the gas tank like the sending unit, back access covers and drain. I will then put it back on the wing so I can countersink the front line of screws and final fit it to the wing. It fit real nice in the jigging process but things tend to move a bit in aseembly stage, especially with pro-seal. Parts can slide a little when you squeeze the rivets. I have started on the right aileron for now and will get that assembled so I can mount it on the wing and close up the bottom skins.
