The days are already getting shorter, we're down to "only" 14 1/2 hours of sun/day and I've been working long hours while I can.
The floor pan is (still) being worked on, so on a tip from Jim Ratte while the front was apart I added the rudder pedals. I wasn't going to use them, but they will make it easier for others who might fly the airplane.
With the work on the bottom of the hull complete, I flipped it back over and started adding hardware like the bilge pump, and front stringer reinforcements in preparation for hull-frame mate.
Remember that hull ding?
Fine, finer, and even finer sandpaper...
Polishing with a mildly abrasive cleaner and wool cloth...
Is followed by waxing with a foam disc. In sunlight I can see the repair if I look hard, but it's good enough.

Looks like we are about at the same place in the build. and doing the same mods.

Hopefully your hull wasn't "modified" during shipping, Tom. Looking forward to flying with you someday.
