Wires on top done, now for the real fun. Double wires from each wing mount to landing gear, then double wires from each gear to the center fuselage.
so when I get bored I can switch gears and work on the wheel pants!

Fortunately, the gf got me one of those last Christmas! Yes, that fuselage is 3/4” thick in some places!
Thanx!

Actually, the right side is going together faster than the left.

Did get some flights in early, but got out of the cold and into the shop to make some good progress today.

Fairings around the tail feathers, struts and some alignment issues resolved. She’s coming apart tomorrow for final paint.
