Day 47 - January 8, 2011

We had four Team Members at this week's work session (our first for the new year), despite some icy roads in our area.

We continue to make slow steady progress as we near the end.

We now have the cooling duct bonded into the cowling, and we were able to verify that we have good alignment and proper clearance of the propeller spinner to the cowling.

We have made additional progress on the Fire Wall Forward wiring.

In the photo below, we installed the golden rivet (figuratively) during this work session by doing the last of the riveting with the installation of the aft cockpit top skins and the rear window.

We are now at the point where the work that remains is spread between about 5 of the 60 total construction chapters. We still have a lot to do, but the excitement level is building.
