Aft fuselage progress

Image
It's has been while since last post due to holiday and work traveling. But I've had progress on the aft fuselage in between. The picture below show the status. Bottom skin is finished, and left side skin is riveted. Right side skin is clecoed on and partially riveted. Static port I decided to go for the  AVERY EFIS SYSTEM PLUMBING KIT instead of the supplied one in  the empennage kit. Then I have all I need for the AOA plumbing as well. The supplied ports. I drilled to holes and countersunk them for AN426 rivets. The ports fits nicely to the skin after opening the hole to the correct size. More pictures A happy wife helping setting rivets😀

More space needed - bought a container

Image
My primary building space is small, and as the the airplane "grows" i need space for storing etc. So I decided to buy a 20 feet freight container. It's old so I will refurbish and insulate it. It will primarily be used as storage and priming. Later I might paint the aircraft and when finished I will transport the whole aircraft (in parts of course) to the airport for assembling. The only problem is that it's a bit narrow when the wheels are on. Looks a bit shabby😕
