While waiting for the main gear hoop to arrive, I’ve been doing the bits and pieces one can do without it. Tonight I finished half of the last reinforcement layup between the forward and aft LG bulkheads. I might have finished both, but it took a bit to cut the glass and I had a time limit. I didn’t want to rush the other side.

At this point, I need to hoop to proceed any further. Until it does, I’ll probably start mounting the spar and working on the strakes. The other option is the turtleback, but I don’t want to install it unti I have some more interior work done. I may get its jig built, and do the off-plane layup just to get it started.
