Installed Chromed Camlock on Map Box Door

 
Yesterday Brian Baker returned the camlock to me.  He had his guys at work (Salt Lake Chrome) chrome plate the part.  He said it is not a very good job, but to me it  looks like a million bucks.  I inserted the camlock through the hole in the map box door.  Using a small socket and a pair of channel lock pliers I pressed the locking washer onto the camlock holding it in place.  I think it looks pretty good.  Now I am waiting for the next kit to arrive.  I will have the grandsons help this Friday evening to clean out and vacuum the fuselage.  I need to dust off the saw dust from the exterior of the wings, vertical stab and rudder and the fuselage.  I also need to make a minor repair to the left wing root.
