Engine installed

Image
I was a bit excited about hanging then engine - but it was nothing to worry about. It took me roughly 3 hours alone. Basically I had the engine hanging in the lift and moved the fuselage.

Landing gear

Image
Finally I was ready to install the landing gear. I have postponed that as long as possible. I put the fuselage on a custom temporary table.   I had to adjust the more toe in on the right wheel.  So ordered 2 pc. U-00013B from Vans. They are 0.5 degree each, and I put both on the right side for a total of 1 degree. There was a problem with the hole alignment on the nose gear leg. Vans sent me a new one. The old one cut in two🤔 As requested by Vans.

Temporary shelter

Image
I needed some more space, but has not been able to find any suitable premises to rent for a short time. So I decided to just build a temporary shelter around my two garages and the container. It looks crazy😐

Final canopy work

Image
There was some more work to do on the canopy. Like seals, wiring and some final sanding and adjustment to have a nice fit to the aft canopy window.
