Made Ramps, Installed Wing Root Fairings, Installed Baggage Area Panels
(1.8 Hours Center Fuselage, 1.0 Hours Wings)
2.8 Hours Total

This morning I made some ramps out of plywood so I can push the plane up onto these heavy duty package scales.

Out at the hangar, I installed the correct sized nut plates with these 3/32" cherry blind rivets.

Then I installed the wing root fairings.

And the other side...

Finally, I installed all of the covers in the baggage area, including the flap motor covers.

I also installed the engine cowl.

Still to install before I weigh it: seat belts, seats, stick boots, arm rests, carpets, and rear canopy.
