The last couple off days, we worked on finishing the pilot seat (lashed version, welded to come soon), did more machining and assembly of prop shaft parts, and prepared to put biscuits in the fuselage frame and assemble it, by planning the biscuit locations and drawing a 1:1 side view of the fuselage to be used to size the actual tubes and help position them for tack gluing prior to lashing.
