1st Big Cut

 I made some progress on the control horn and elevator.  The flush rivet holes are countersunk on the control horn (that was a pain).  I tackled cutting the elevators The cuts are tricky and I was about as  nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.  It's hard to see but there's a slight angle along the edge of the cut (offset by 29/64" to be exact).  I lost count how many times I re-checked the measurements before the first cut. I'm glad it's over, it was a nice confidence booster.

I wish more got done but I was in Austin on a business trip.  Well almost all business, I did mange to have a little bit of fun down in Texas.

While I was in Austin I got checked out in a Piper Archer at Pilots Choice Aviation in Georgetown, TX (KGTU).  If you like to fly, Pilots Choice Aviation an awesome place to hang out. The B-25 named Devil Dog lives there. I got to see her take off she was headed for an airshow in Dallas.

I got checked out in the Archer because I have friends and family in the area and would like to take them flying.  I travel to Austin about once a month for business, might as well have some fun when your on the road.
