| There you have it. I might add I installed the engine cooling tubes just prior to installing the front elevator assembly. |

| With most of the rigging complete, the rear struts were finally installed and the rear portion of the rigging complete. I might add that the wing-warping rigging is confined to the two outer most rear struts only. |

| Its only after the wing-warping and internal rigging is complete, when the "outside" rigging is started. Note the fuel line being routed around the struts to the tank. Some pictures show the fuel line hanging off the leading edge, some pictures show it to be more tight. It was just an arbitrary decision on my part. Just seemed to "look right." |

| With the wing-warping complete, now starting on the internal rigging (called longitudinal, according to the blue prints) |
