Installing the fuel selector and gascolator. Installed landing gear bolts - 5 hours

 Now the interior painting is complete. I can start the process of starting to install interior cabin components permanently. First I chose to install the fuel selector and the Aerolab gascolator. 

To install the gascolator to the cabin floor, I used blue thread-lock on the #6 screws. 


 Now came the big task of drilling and installing the AN3 bolts for all of the landing gear weldments. This ends up being a tedious process. Having to drill up from #40 to #30, to #21, finally reaming to 3/16". Lets not talk about trying to remove all the shavings that like to stick between the layers of the aluminum.
