Zenith 750 Cruzer

Got the wing skin on the pilot site top riveted today. Had been holding off for the pitot tube installation.

Then it was on to the baggage compartment.

Finishing this took about 90 minutes longer than I planned for, but I’m happy with the result.

Doing a pitot tube cover type mount from mykitairplane.com. Got some good advice from the internet on cutting the hole.

I’m super happy with the result. Next up, the backing plate and running the tubing.

Finally getting around to doing the seats. I’ve not decided how to finish them. I’m sure I won’t leave them as lawn chair style 🙂

Been planning on four part harnesses for a long time. Viking Aircraft has the brackets I needed and they were a snap to install.

Then I finally fixed these brackets which I had on the wrong side. Yay for mistakes!

Any progress on the build is progress

I don’t agree with our reaction to this mess, but whatever.

Might as well find some airplane things to do in the garage. Seat packs get a base coat.

I’m trying out this cable zip tie solution to run pitot and electric lines.

Wrapped up some stray rivets

And test fitted some baggage floor and seat pan parts.

Won’t be doing many updates this week from the hangar. Our nights have been in the low teens and it’s just too cold.

I’ve been working on electrical design and doing avionics research.

I also bought an electric rivet gun and I’ll be doing a video on that.

Stay warm!

Not very exciting
