With transport behind me, its time to get down to the last big job, namely final assembly. Today the wings went on, horizontal stab, elevators and vertical stabilizer. It had been a while since those components were last fitted but it all went together in four hours today. The open hanger door has attracted a few curious visitors who want to see what had been consuming my free time for the last few years.

I think the biggest task so far has been emptying my workshop and transporting everything I think I will need to the hanger. I was fortunate to have an empty hanger to start with and not have to deal with a pre-existing mess (like my other hanger the 701 sleeps in). There is a pile of tables and chairs against one wall which we use for our flyin breakfast on the labour day weekend, but so far the tables have proven to be quite valuable as I spread out parts and drawings.

I am truly fortunate to have such an understanding wife who puts up with this time and cash consuming obsession.
