Installed brake line spacers and the flap actuator - 3.5 hours

 I started to install the brake line spacers that I had 3D printed. It takes some time to lay things out. I need to ensure that the spacers do not interfere with any of the many nutplates and screws. Lots of head scratching on this task.



I also need to use the drill press and drill mounting screw holes to clamp the lines. Originally, I was going to just proseal the lines on. But I do want the ability to change lines out easily if needed, so small screws are the way to go. I raided my pinball parts stash and found very small machine screws that will work well! A little bit proseal is mixed and the bottom half of the spacers are installed.

While I wait on that, I decided to move on to the cabin area flap actuator. I just want to get the cabin put together. Easy enough I put the mounting bolt in to the assembly. And the cotter pin is set. 


 A few more screws and the flap actuator are installed. 



Work is getting soo busy I am going to have to put the build on hold for a while. It’s bitter-sweet as it’s good to be busy, but I really need to keep building.
