More surveying of the work done on the quickbuild fuselage tonight. I also removed some more parts that were temporarily installed with blind rivets. First up were these stubby angle pieces (F-705G I think) that are only used with the tip-up canopy; I'm building a slider:
Small collection of parts removed from the fuselage. The angle pieces on the left go in the scrap bin, and the things on the right will get trimmed and reinstalled later on.
I also had to remove the aftmost bulkhead so I can install the tailwheel spring. Here's the bulkhead along with the weldment to which the tail spring will attach. I have to trim the lower skin before I can install this, though.
Pop rivet shish kebab:
Not very interesting to look at, but I spent quite a bit of time going carefully over the plans, checking off what's been done and marking the steps still left to do.
