Over the past few days, continued to work on odds and ends.
Installed the fuel tank and glued the fuel tank spout to the turtle deck skin. I used silicone grease on the turtle deck skin and after a 4 day cure time, the spout came off of the skin rather easily.
I trimmed the rear window where is abutts the canopy when it is closed. I have a gap between the canopy and the rear window that approximates the gap in the rollbar. To trim the rear window I used two 2x4's screwed together to form a 90 degree jig. Then clamped the 6' jig to the workbench. Sandwiched the rear window between the jig and another 2x4. Clamped the sandwich together. Used the belt sander to get close to the line and then used a board with 80 grit paper. Finished the edge with 120, then 180 then 400 grit paper.
Moved all to the airport in a friends hotrod car hauler. It is about 21' long and 82.5" wide at the wheelwells. The width was tight but the plane's wheels just squeezed in between the trailer wheelwells. The wings were transported in their cradle and then a 2nd trip took the fuselage to the airport.
Installed all of the instrument panel labels per Section 50 of the plans.
Also made a trip to John Bender's hangar and spent a day with him, installing the wings, weighing the plane, starting the engine for the first time after adding oil, and updating his Dynon.
Time - 6 hours
