We brought more parts to the airport, and started working on various things. The window on one door was trimmed a bit in one corner to eliminate some interference. Green striping tape was installed on most of the control surfaces where the orange paint borders white paint. We still need to apply the tape to the cowl and rudder. The flaps were installed on the wings which was a nice accomplishment.

Michael spent a bit of time adjusting the jury struts and their brackets. The brackets didn't fit our lift strut very well, so took some bending and persuading to fit better. These brackets were then removed so that they could be painted white.

The elevators were attached to the tail. The two elevators are bolted together inside the tail, and are installed on their hinges with clevis pins that are held in place with cotter pins. It felt good to get another control surface attached to the plane. Hours: 20
