Darrin Jackson (my
flight instructor, Jackson Flight Services) was piloting my
Challenger for the light aircraft manufacturer’s flight
demonstrations. He WOW’d them all !!!!!!. Gary Weaver and I also
received awards. Weaver received a workmanship award for his
Challenger and my Challenger received 2nd place Grand
Champion Light Aircraft, First place went to a JUST Aircraft
Highlander. Steve Dentz
Few
more things got done today, doors painted and install, door latches
installed, and windshield. I've only got 5 items left on my to-do
list.

The
fuselage basic colors are complete. The paint scheme looks like
something I'd put on one of my R/C models, colorful! On to the
wings!
Note the gas filler access hole.

Started
painting the silver undercoat this afternoon, what a piece of cake
with this turbine HVLP unit I just got. Boy you can really see your
sins when the silver goes on. I'll need to do a little smoothing
with the hobby iron to take out some small wrinkle I couldn't see
with only the pink filler. I should have fuse and tail surfaces done
by Sunday evening if I don't have too many mistakes to fix!!!!!!
  
More
pictures of the building progress.
Only a
couple things to do and I can start covering. YAHOOOOO!!!
Completed the fabric attachment plate for the nose cone, instrument
panel (except for the labels), heater ducting, ELT and switch,
battery bracket, regulator, and firewall and quick disconnects.
Really close to permanently attaching the nose cone.
