The Experimental Aviator

Wrapped up fuselage welding

I spent a couple hours today going over the fuselage and making sure I've got it ready to blast and paint. I think I've got a plan for mounting the transponder without any additional tabs needed. I also taped the old panel in place to take some measurements for clearance with the tank and frame. It looks like the current plan for the panel arrangement will work. I made a list of the new hardware needed for the smoke oil tank, battery mount, tail spring and engine mount. Getting close to putting things back together!
