Working Under the Floor, and Getting the Rudder Ready

Top photo: Me reaching underneath the floor of the aircraft, where the control linkage is located. Working in here is less than fun. Often the work is with two fingers of one hand, blind, going only by feel, reaching through a hole where a control stick will mount.

The lower photo is of me unwrapping the rudder, which comes wrapped in clear plastic. Its installation will be a major step very soon. It will mount above the tail wheel on the back of the vertical fin, both seen here.
