As I'm preparing the next finish paint session I assemble the subpanel. The left side is assembled on the workbench.




On the right side, I will install a glovebox. A rectangular hole is cut in the subpanel and then the forward deck will also have to be cut along the blue line on the picture.

The reassembly of the cabin parts goes on. I first verified the torque of all the nuts, mainly tise of the main gear supports.
Then I riveted both fresh air sccops.




Next parts to be reinstalled were the fuel vent lines. A third hand could be used for some of the clamps




Then I riveted the top of the bagage bulkhead wondering why I didn't do it earlier.
I also riveted the upper rib to the next bulkhead,which didn't go as planned, I'll have to drill out the rivets and redo them after the upper skin is installed.

Then I reinstall the parts of the side lock. It had to be tweaked a bit after the installation of the yellow knob.




Then I rivet the central support for the rudder pedals tube. The rudder pedals and brakes will be installed shortly.

Today was painting day. Despite access being somewhat ackward everything went about fine. Only one big run on the bagage bulkhead? I'll try to remove it later.




I also painted all the non installed parts.




And I also painted the canopy deck in black.

I needed half of the day to uninstall all the parts (subpane, roll-bar, tubing, floors...)in the way for painting the interior.
I then masked the parts that don't have to be painted, some will be hidden behind the interior.
