Progress on the 12
has slowed even more. Our son and his
little family are staying with us for 6-weeks while he is doing a medical rotation
at the VA Hospital Podiatry Clinic.
There is lots to do with them so I have had little time to work on the
airplane. This afternoon I removed the
turtle deck and cleaned the squeezed out Proseal from around the filler
neck. I set up to repaint the filler
tube, neck and inside skin. I also
removed the fuel tank and installed the modified floor and bulkhead
covers. With the tank out and the
airplane once again on it's side I replaced the ADAHRS AOA fitting. This time it is not cross threaded.
After applying a
new coat of finish on the inside surfaces I reinstalled the fuel tank and righted
the fuselage. I am nearly ready to start the installation
of the landing gear.
