Progress continues, although right now is a bit of a lull in the project. I only have around 45 minutes of riveting to go before the tailcone is complete. Finding helpers has been somewhat of a challenge but this will be resolved soon. The only remaining rivets are the very top ones in the middle of the top skin. I plan on climbing in and having someone rivet from the outside.
My current crating week is September 28, and I was hoping that somehow it would ship sooner but it is so unfortunate what is happening with all the fires out west that this looks unlikely.
I have chosen for now based on advice in the forum to delay all fiberglass work until the end of the project, although if the Fuselage kit gets delayed a lot more I may reconsider that and work on the tips for the rudder and elevators. Chapter 11+12 I find quite confusing as it seems like this is where you would mount the tail surfaces on a permanent basis and this is not at all what I want to do right now.
Stay tuned, it's time to clean the garage and take care of all the other projects while I wait!
