August 2021 – Zenith 750 Cruzer

Starting to think about colors

I had forgotten that I did a vector drawing of the Zenith a few years ago. It’s a nice way to take a look at what the colors might be.

I this isn’t the right green or yellow, but it was my initial thought about a scheme.

Likely to change my mind about 12000 times.

Had some help with the flaperons today

For the most part I’ve been sticking pretty close to the plans. Today’s deviation was to add some stiffening L angles to these pulleys. Once this section is riveted they’ll be hard to access and I didn’t like the amount of skin flex I was seeing.

Installing the elevator pulleys

Installing the elevator pulleys this morning. It’s a measure twice cut once kinda deal. Really not something I want to have misaligned. It was more like a measure 2^8 and cut once kinda deal

Pre dawn tail work. Questioning my decision to be on a ladder before sunrise ;)
