Just thought I’d post a quick update on where I’m at with the Coyote.  I started painting on Friday.  I painted the wing struts, wing tip fairings, baggage compartment door, and propeller spinner.  It didn’t go as bad as I thought it would.  I did get a few runs, and a friend stepped on one of the parts, but other than that it went great.

I spent Saturday and part of Sunday riveting on the windshield and skylight.  I also got to fly to Los Banos with some friends to have lunch.  This was a GREAT weekend!  Here are a few pictures of my progress.

This is the top of the windshield where it mates with the skylight.

 Here are the front and rear lift struts.  They connect the wings to the lower portion of the fuselage.  Not only are they important, they look great!
