Finishing Kit Firewall Forward

Finishing Kit Firewall Forward http://www.myrv9.com/Main/FK/Pages/FinishKit_03.html Phase III of the finishing kit will be featured on this page. With the canopy now put to bed, I am moving on to work on the firewall forward. This will include hanging the engine, installing the landing gear and work on the forward cowling. Should be lots of fun! Engine mount was hung http://www.myrv9.com/Main/FK/Pages/FinishKit_03.html#0 c1a111c5-7289-448d-aae3-e0902c18d16b http://www.myrv9.com/Main/FK/Pages/FinishKit_03_files/Media/IMG_3284/thumb.jpg http://www.myrv9.com/Main/FK/Pages/FinishKit_03_files/Media/IMG_3284/micro.jpg
