This is a large chapter. At the end the whole floor from firewall to tailcone is one piece. That's also the moment when I will get 'space challenged'.

 

I'm also working hard on getting the wings out of my shop...

Here is the bottom forward skin together with the ribs that support the floor for pilot and copilot later on.
Test fitting of all parts before ...
.. the firewall assembly is installed.
Next step is to test fit the forward wing spar (wing spar carry through is the official name).
First fit of the front floor.
Fast Forward: all pieces have been primed.
Riveting of all small parts on the skin done.
Eva is part of the game here again - and as usual she takes the part where you can lay down when working. But apart from beeing a little lazy she's a good woman.

 

Auuuch - something hit me hard from behind...

Front floors not yet installed. (I haf to drill out some rivets that had benn set prematurely.
Now the floor has been installed (well, not permanently yet. I also have to decide on sound proofing yes or no).
The landing gear atttach point has been fitted (temporarily). I will be glad when this has been done for the last time... see next chapter.
