GEAR fit /Rudder paddles/ Windscreen & Dash

Haven't posted in a while.... so a lot happend...

Finally on Wheels...
Drilling Titanium is no fun... so after giving it a try for the tail wheel spring /rod I went to a steel company in town to borrow there BIG drill press ...should have done that from the getgo.

Dimensions didnt exactly fit the plans - for some reason the aircraft has more ground clearance than per plan with the correct length of the gear legs - this would affect Angle of attack at landing, but after talking to TechSupport and having choosen the bigger 6" tail wheel is going to be ok; I actually like ther bigger prop ground clearance.

 Its time to start the Dash - I like that I dilled it already while I was building the forward fuselage sides.

 Upper Firewall - bending the firewall to dash angle was fun - my home made 6$ flute pliers did the job just fine.

 Disassembled the dash again ( still going with the 2 step forward and 1 step back principle) - to fit the rudder paddles before it is tougher to get to.

 First Windscreen fit - to mention is that I put a little bit of bend into the windscreenskirt right where it leaves the sidewall skins to take a bit of stress away from the windscreen.

And I found out why they sent me a new windscreen - not because of the tinting ( I believe that was their reasoning) - it was due to a wrong cutout at the fuel filler cap and slight changes at the sides to be able to slide it in.

 I love the CNC canopy bows - looks nice.

 Pretty ok fit in my opinion - not water tight but I will do that a later time - objective is still to fly 2018...
