Fitted tyres, front undercarriage, some deburring
Drilled and deburred 9.5mm holes for snap bushes in the 2x left CF-CHL-032 and 1x CF-CHL-042 longeron pieces to cater for the canopy wiring pass through.
Fitted tyres and tubes to 3x rims. This took a lot more effort than I was expecting. The brake discs are fitted to the hub, they are upgrades over the standard Sling units (these are Matco CUS023HDED WHLBE9HE Dual Piston HE callipers with 2X MHE6DHE1.25D-3 high-energy discs).
Assembled the front undercarriage leg and fitted it to the engine mount.
Fitted the engine mount to the fuselage - not a final fitment since I will need to remove the top bolts when the canopy parachute cables are fitted.
