Thanks Gregory! I worked on rigging yesterday. Most of the wing/main rigging is done. Next up the tail surfaces and Elevator/rudder control cables.

Rigging is great fun and especially so on the tripe. You've got a beauty on your hands now Rick!

Thanks Chris! It took about 5 hors for the major wing rigging. It took me 3 hours and 20 minutes to do the 4 turnbuckles and threading them that you will see in the attached photos"

All the rigging looks great. So- 8 hrs of rigging so far? No straying onto other projects? No flying the Tripe around the room?

OK Steve you caught me

I might have played with My Grand Daughter and Barbie and Ken in between wires

Seriously though, I tend to rig then plan, then rig, and plan, etc. so the actual hands on time could be less. As for the turnbuckle wires that was a straight up time spent with my ham fisted inadequacies

Hello Rick:

Just now catching up a bit. I like the color you have chosen for the overall paint, PC12 I believe. It is really looking the business now with the rigging etc. Looking forward to seeing you button it up.

Best

Mark
