January 14-18, 2017 Update: tailcone riveting, static ports,

January 14: After some travel and a "down" weekend due to flu bug:  Continuing to do riveting on the tail cone.   Working on wiring harnesses in the aft fuselage as this progresses.


January 15:  Continuing riveting tailcone section and placing the wiring harnesses.   Nearing completion of this section.   I will have Vic Syracuse visit late this week to inspect progress.

January 16:   More riveting on the tail section.

January 17:  Placed the Cleaveland Air static ports in location normally used by Vans: I am using their EFIS kit for the static and presumably pitot as well.   Used JB Weld epoxy after drilling hole to spec (1/4") and roughing up the surfaces with Aluminum oxide sandpaper and cleaning with MEK.

January 18:  Installed Static tubing, attached to the static ports.  It looks really good!
