		<title>Drill, Debur, Dimple, Nutplates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a day with lots of hours and not a lot of pictures. I finished the work on the left air intake, which included dimpling the boot cowl and cutting countersinks into the plastic vent. I also dimpled all of the holes in the boot cowl skins that will get rivets, except for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engine Mounts and NACA Scoops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching the price of the engine mount rubbers for the past few months, and the trend seems alarming. In the 2008 Vans Accessory catalog, they were $40 per lug (for a total of $160). Today Vans sells them for $125 per lug, or $500 plus shipping! Yikes! I was surprised to see the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headset Jacks and Door Sill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started out today by finishing something from last week. While I had the torch out, I also added a few more parts to the skylight area. First up were some plates for the headset jacks. This plate goes on the spanwise mini-bulkhead that I&#8217;m creating at the aft side of the skylight. This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Repositioning Door Area Flange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a two-part day. In the first session, I used a dremel tool to remove the weld on the vertical portion of the door threshold at the forward end. This was to allow for repositioning that piece so that it would attach properly to the aluminum piece that goes there. This also involved cutting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seats and Engine Mount</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Tabitha came out again to finish squeezing some more wingtip rivets. We also tested the glue on the foams to make sure that it wasn&#8217;t going to dissolve them. The glue checked out OK, so we glued one of the bottom cushion combinations. Tabitha marked it for cutting and spent some time thinking about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nutplates on Panels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a short day, but I was able to spend some time on the nutplates that will hold on the &#8220;optional&#8221; aluminum panel under the door. I learned about a few complications. First, the nutplates won&#8217;t work well on the top unless I bend out the steel piece at the bottom of the door. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tailwheel Spring and Wingtip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tabitha came out today too and we made some good progress. I was at a stopping point with the tailwheel spring because I didn&#8217;t have a drill that would handle larger bits. It had a temporary bolt in place of the AN-7 that is supposed to go in there. With the new drill I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seat Foam Ergonomics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Tabitha came out to help. With the seat pans finished, it was time to start thinking about cutting the foam for them. But first, the flooring supplies came in, both the foam padding and the top layer. The plan for the seats is to use one inch of firm tempur foam on the bottom, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welding Skylight Tubes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started cutting and adding in some of the new skylight tubes today. I cut a notch into the tube to make it match the mounting area. Mysterious note from the future! I learned in retrospect that the following picture shows a tube that is ground a little too much. It should have been a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skylight Modifications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I finished the back seat covering. Now it&#8217;s ready for some airplane noises. After I finished the back seat I took a little lunch break. Fellow EAA 731 member Kevin Ball stopped by and we spent an hour or so talking about the airplane, then I went over to Bart&#8217;s to take a look [...]]]></description>
