.5 hours.
Maybe it’s not that significant, but it’s significant to me. It’s another mid-level piece of airplane not on a shelf anymore, and it’s one of those things I had to wait on until the interior was painted. The cables are in, but not rigged. The empennage is still upstairs in the attic, but I suppose I should just bite the bullet and bring them down, stick them on, and rig the rudder, elevator, and pitch servo, which includes making the little tabs that go from the rudder pedals to the cable. Is there any reason not to use aviation-grade turnbuckles or clevises here? I also have yet to fit the wings to the fuselage, drilling for final incidence and sweep. At that point, I can rig the ailerons and flaps. But that’s going to be a mission. So much planning and prep, it almost merits its own list.
