Back in the saddle again!

I have started working on the project again. I have gotten the flap brace all aligned with the flap in trail with the wing. I pulled all the wiring through the wing and it is ready to start installing the bottom skins. I forget how much work it is to get the bottom skins on. Lot's of contorting into positions to buck rivets.

Bottom engine assembly

Case halves going together. We are tightening down the some nuts on the thru bolts to pull the halves together uniformly. Make sure to put nuts on the thru bolts on the other side so you don't pull the thru bolt right thru the case.This where the sticky axle grease comes into play for the thrust washer option. I have to look in there with a light and poke at it make sure it was in place next to the crankshaft. It fell down onto the other washer but it ended up seating up against the crank face and working out.
