Wings! Back from paint, prep for assembly

Wings back from the paint shop!


I had slightly tangled the control cables and untangling them was impossible with them on the aircraft... piece of cake with them off the plane.  Quick little cardboard piece to hold them in place temporarily.


The wings are pretty much ready to go on.  The wing fold strut attach points are refitted post paint.

Wingtip lights are installed... but I need longer screws.  Holes are drilled at least.


Seat tubs are back from paint!  Same colour as the rest of the interior.  Jet flex slate grey.


I have never had the interior properly bolted in... always just clecoed in place, and the seatbelts were still in their bags... took forever to find the hardware for SB69... and the crossbar retrofit.




Waiting for a good weather window to put the wings on.  Hopefully this coming week.
