Install landing gear onto fuselage

fuselage

DETAIL:

I got the control stick and rudder pedal assemblies back from the powder coat shop today.  They did one coat of metallic silver and one coat of clear.  The finish is beautiful!  A very deep and very metallic finish.  I spent the afternoon temporarily installing the assemblies into the fuse. It's looking nice! The pictures below show the bright shiny look.

On another note, an acquaintance of mine, Joe Carter, and his 16 yr old daughter were killed this past Saturday in his Fisher Celebrity biplane.  Apparently one of the wings failed and his plane spun out of control.  It's really sad because he was such a cool guy.  It just goes to show you how quickly life can change for anyone. More info on the accident can be found here.
