Lots done w&b tomorrow
Lots done today, took the afternoon off from work.
Arms are measured, close to Vans example so I should be good. Will make another check during the test tomorrow.
I envy those capable of bleeding breakes without creating a mess, my 2$ pump gave up just as I was finished. Not tested yet but I think I managed to keep air away. Filled from the bottom.
Removing te cover from the canopy, within seconds there was dust on it.

Section 33 done
Found the cable guides, forgot to turn on the camera. Then I started the Flaps actuation chapter. Some match drilling and then priming the inside of the tubes.

Brake fluid lines and rudder cables
Cut and attached the brake fluid lines and attached the rudder cables after having prepped the attachments. Spent more than 30 min searching for the cable guides that I put somewhere more than 2.5 years ago... have not found them yet.

Tightened the bolt/nut holding the clamps for the sleeve protecting the rudder cables
Tightened the bolt/nut holding the clamps for the sleeve protecting the rudder cables. That is one long sentence ;) Started looking at the brake hoses.

Brake reservoir, rudder lines
First I attached the brake fluid reservoir and the T-connection on the other side. Then I decided to route the rudder lines and to attach the protective sleeve. I have read about the problems of attaching this sleeve as there is so little space. I solved it but using some of the children's clay. In place but not tightened yet.

Camera was set to raw and I am tired so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow.

Pedals riveted
23 Rivets per pedal :) Except for the pop rivets, all was done with the pneumatic squeezer. Before riveting there was deburring before and after match drilling.

Brake pedal assemblies
Started separating parts for the brake pedal assemblies. Read a great tip on another blog, to put the spacers in the drill press for final sizing, to make sure that they get square.
