Fuselage Aft Top Skins

Lots of progress- aft top skins have been clecoed and drilled, and the baggage bulkhead has been trimmed and drilled, and the nutplates that hold it on have been installed. Also the baggage area floors and side panels are ready to go. I'm currently working on the forward floors and the seat backs. Lots and lots of smaller tasks have been completed and many more still to do.

I ordered the finish kit this week. Since the cowling and motor mount depend on the engine type, that decision has to be made before ordering the finish kit. I agonized a bit, and decided on an IO-320. Thats the fuel-injected version of the O-320.
