In preparation for installing the rear window, I clecoed the aft top skin to the fuse and began final trimming the rear window. It took some iterations, but I finally got a good fit.
I also wanted to make sure that the aft skin was aligned before riveting, and that there were no interferences or issues with fitting the rear window against the canopy.
I also spent some time updating my wiring diagram to reflect the new aux bus. I’m trying to keep as consistent documentation as I can in order to have the ability to review and verify in case anything isn’t working as expected.
Finally, I spent some time writing up the wing installation procedure I plan on following. There are many amazing build logs out there and write-ups that describe the process, and I’m compiling my own from these many great sources. I wrote a procedure when installing my canopy, and it was tremendously helpful to have a step-by-step guide to follow so there was very little thinking needed (this is where I introduce lots of errors). This is a work in progress as I finish the aft fuselage and cabin work.
