This is fantastic, I love the wiring details.

Thank you, my Brother.

 

I don't get a lot done jumping back and forth between three builds, but I try to do a little something on everything each week.  Here I worked on aligning the cowling with the fuselage.

 

I bonded two structures before shimming so the front end wouldn't split .  I started with .010 before moving up incrementally until I reached .040 as the shim size.

 

Good on this side.

 

Same here.  Erred so I had to add a shim to try and level things out.

 

Close enough for Government Work.

 

Thanks for looking in.

Sincerely,

Mark

.040"?

Well, this is an interesting approach. Oddly enough mine was easily within sanding distance on the left side and the right was "only" off .010".  Your 109 build is humbling so I'm keeping up with this for educational purposes.
