Taping the front side of the rear seat (3.0 hrs)
I finally finished taping the rear seat today, even though one issue that I thought I had behind me, the squaring of the fuselage, reappeared to torment me again.
It turns out that two bulkheads are not enough to keep “the box” from shifting shape slightly. So, I had to spend a bunch more time measuring, shimming, and so on, before finally getting down to business.

Tomorrow Gina and I will be leaving for Rough River, Kentucky, for the annual CSA Canard get together, held Friday to Sunday. Rough River is such an excellent opportunity to see and talk to other Canard people, I have been waiting all year for it.
I’ll try to take lots of pictures with my iPhone, and maybe post a few of them here when we get back.
