Ahh… Sigh… I have just got home after being out all day, mostly working on the plane… But let me get to there… Firstly after church I drove over to North Rocks via the M7… That was fairly good until I got to the end of the M7… Then thanks to the road works it took a bit longer. Getting to North Rocks I managed to find a car parking spot and quickly raced in and found 512 MBytes of RAM for only $55. This was an excellent price. Then on getting to Richard’s I found he needed to go to North Rocks. So it took some time to get started…

Once we got started we first finished getting the seat backs done. This happened fairly quckly, and allowed us to work on some other parts of the plane. I am just thinking what we needed to do then. Ah, we also worked on the lower forward seat belt securing point – mostly using pop rivets. With a total of 40 rivets we think that the plane can be lifted from these points. I would not be surprised. Then we worked on getting the sides set so that we could mate the two halves of the plane up once more. This was like a jigsaw but after some time we got the two pieces together. And then got the longerons installed too.

After that we spent some time getting some of the skins aligned properly, although we did not get this finished before finishing for the night. All in all a lot done… More importantly I guess I will be spending a lot of time over the coming weeks inside the body of the plane whilst richard hits rivets.

I had a phone call from my father asking about christmas… And wanting to know the type of food… And then asked if Thai for christmas lunch would be OK… Sure… But I did give an order for one dish. On boxing day my father is going to Indonesia for ten days I found out too… This is for work, but I dont have any other details… Anyway it has been a long day and I think it is time for bed…
