Installed the rudder pedals - 2 hours

Didn't manage to spend a whole lot of time in the garage today, however it was most defiantly a full plane day. Today was an EAA Meetup out in Wetaskawin.

My buddy Mike came over and we headed out to the EAA meet and someones hanger. Fortunate for me there was some really nice F1 rockets out there that I was able to drool over.



As well, I got to take a good look at some other planes as well as a beautifully painted RV7. Also one of the members has a RV10 that I got a good peak at and he was able to give me some advice on avionics and engine choices which I appreciated

Oh...A Stearman!

So needless to say I didn't get a long build session in today but I was certainly motivated to get going when I got home.
I started in by removing the Bearing blocks to the F-719 stiffeners. I clamped the assembly to the bench and used the hand drill to start the holes. I finished the holes on the drill press using a reamer.




When all was done...I installed the rudder pedals into the fuselage.
