October and November have been productive months for the project. Fall chores are pretty well wrapped up and  I can hide in the shop with little guilt about things that should be done.

The wings are closed up now. I had left them open for the pre-close inspection by the MDRA (Ministers Delegate for Recreational Aviation). That was completed last January but once I got into the fuselage work again, the wings took the back burner.

Dynon Roll servo installed, wiring conduits for tip lights installed, mast for AOA probe installed, last of the bolts for the fuel tank installed and torqued up. All of the above and the riviting of the bottom skins took 2 weeks to complete. Wings back onto the rolling and stand and moved into storage until attachment time.

The engine installation was surprisingly easy to do. Research on the task indicated a need to assemble an army of friends to assist and a fridge full of refrshments to reward after the task was completed. I hooked the engine on the floor hoist at 3:30 PM and was complete by 4:20 PM. That was easy!
