Progress has been slow this week. I'm going to blame the weather and my lack of blacksmith skills. Spent way to much time trying to get the vertical fin bracket fabricated and fitting properly. But today finally got it on. Aft vertical fin bracket is not yet mounted but it's pretty close to being ready. Another hour or two at my pace and the vertical fin will be done, and I can close Sec 6 of the manual and move on to Section 7. The saving grace is I skipped ahead to Section 8 -Body fitting when I was waiting on my rotor system. So it is well on it's way to being finished.
