The com antenna double was not riveted to the bottom skin, so it feels  too flimsy. I made a bigger one and riveted it to the bottom skin using 10 rivets. It feels much better now. Then I started installing the windshield to fuselage.


Rudder bottom is trimmed to clear the tailwheel spring. I need to cut about 1-3/32 at the front end


The fit looks pretty good. I got more than 1/4" clearance between the fairing and tailwheel spring


0.063" thick shim is added between horizontal stab and vertical stab front spars to reduce assembly load
