A lot of times when building there is stuff to be done that doesn't warrant pictures and doesn't look like a lot is happening, but one just has to do it.
It includes revisiting things and correcting or improving them, which is where am at for this last week.
The piano hinges I used on the pedal just aren't robust enough for my liking. I was showing them off to the wife (poor thing, 90 degrees with 80% humidity and she's out there watching me move a rudder and making airplane noises - and didn't complain about it) and noticed they flexed on the hinge a little bit. Uh oh. Zero time on them and they flex, which means at some point they'll crack and fail....which is a very bad thing in a regular airplane, but in one without a vertical stabilizer simply disastrous. So out they came and big horking hinges put on - now they're rock solid, and I moved them closer by about half an inch, which is just right for me.
I had to remove the flooring so I can mount the firewall, and added a couple holes for bolting it to the frame - which meant I had to varnish the new holes. Failing to properly varnish the first one's mounting holes was how it got ruined and a second one made!
That and I cleaned up the disaster that is my work area!
