1. This is what Mike had done on the evening I arrived. It was late so I went to bed.  

2. I installed the header lexan and started the doors. 

3. Mike was busy painting the tail feathers. 

4. We installed the gap cover and windshield. 

5. I cut out the access panel. in the nose cone.  Makes working inside the nose cone much less of a hassle.

6. I built a 3rd. door on Mikes Challenger.  I added this to my Challenger this winter,  If you got bad knees this is the only way to go. 

7. Here we are starting on the fabric. 

8. Mike sanding the nose. 

9.  Here you can see the fabric is half on. 

10.  The fabric is on and we can start painting...good old house paint!  Easy on, easy to repair, and easy on the environment.  And Lindy didn't mind the smell in the house quite as much. 

11. The paint is on and looking good.  The wings will be the same yellow as is on the tail.

12. Nice panel.  Real wood. 

13. Here you can see what the doors look like before and after the tape is added.  Makes the doors look more finished. 

14.Well his is where we were when I had to leave for Illinois and home, an eerie place,  We got a bunch done in 5 days and I will be back to finish and fly this little beauty!
