DD, you were right, a real PIA to make wire work as Guillow's suggest. Two hours of planning and a little improv provided great results. Second one will be a breeze. |

While the pilot seat dries to shape, some gauges, controls and initial wiring harnesses are installed. My fat, twisted carpenter fingers require the use of tweezers and needle nose pliers. |

Shaping/sanding complete. Ready for sealer (will use white glue) then cover probably next weekend with heavy silkspan and dope. Search is ongoing for a good cockpit photo. |

Test fit for the canopy. BINGO!! One coat Hobby-lite and one coat of Micro-fill worked great. One more coat MF should provide a great shape for silkspan covering. |

Framing complete. Installed trim tabs and extra F1 former at wing root. Alterered the rear connection a touch but a good tight fit. Shaping next. |
