Private Pilot Complete!

Yesterday I passed my checkride for my Private Pilot, so I should now have a less cluttered mind/schedule. I don't have the financial ability to dive into instrument with quite the same gusto at this point, but I am starting it, as well as intending to complete complex, high powered, and tailwheel.

I mentioned that the first thing I'd riveted on the plane was a bearing housing. Heres a picture of that.

I've also begun the front spar.  More clecoing and match drilling, but I'll need to trim down the ends of these aluminum braces (note the sharpie markings).  I still need to get a grinder to make this a lot easier, because these two pieces need quite a bit of material removed.  More coming soon!
