FOUND IT! So... back to work on figuring out where I left off. Started attaching the aluminum stringers. Got to the belly and saw that to of the bottom formers are bent from me moving the fuselage from the trailer to the hangar. Need to get a few bolts so that I can attach the gear and lift it so that I can heat those areas and bend back into shape. Yeah... over three hours.

"Repair of brake"... New bolt. Lifted front of fuselage so that I can make the repair on the bottom formers, that I slightly bent when it feel off the moving cart from the POD to the hangar. Mounted wheels onto tires.

Spent about 4 hours with the plane but none of it advanced the build. Getting ready for a visit from EASA Chapter 515 on Tuesday

Figuring out the bolt size for the throttle quads, and lifting the fuselage to attach the main landing gear. (still needs a bit more lifting)

Attached the landing gear after finding the correct bolts (which took a while.) Mounted the brakes so that next time I can mount the tires so that I can support the fuselage with just the tires (and get rid of the sawhorses.)

Continued the lift of the fuselage soes that I could mount the wheels/tires on the front mains. My mistake the last time in mounting the brakes on backwards... I fixed the fopah. With the front wheels/tires mounted I decided to attach the tailwheel (after the long search for so correct fitting non-aviation hardware)
