Still assembling the brakes. All the master cylinders are bolted to the pedals. The pedal is normally bolted to the rudder bar wih two bolts as on the right side in the picture, but to allow better movement of the pedals I installed one long bolt as on the left of the picture.



Here the whole assembly in the fuselage.

After some cleaning and rearranging of the workshop, I tackked the brake assembly. They just came back from being anodized (thanks Antoine). The riveting is not a big deal.



Then I begun intsalling the brake cylinders, but the plans are not very clear so I just installed the springs that will help the brakes return to the neutral position as it seems the internal spring is sometimes a bit too weak.



The workshop is closed during Chistmas time.
Merry Christmas

It's a bit too cold to work so I stayed only one hour in the workshop to rivets the end parts to the elevator pushrod.

I had to work on the parts that got primed yesterday. First I riveted all the nutplates and then riveted the parts together where it was possible.



Then I reassembled the aileron trim, I'll install it in the fuselage later.



And I finished by priming the interior of the elevator control rods. I used Van's method, capping one end, pouring some primer, capping the second end and shaking the rod. To have the primer dry I took the rods into the house.

All the smaller parts have been sanded and primed using an aerograph, it's a bit too cold to paint outside.
