Did the linseed oil thing; Filling and draining the frames with linseed oil agaist corrosion. I drilled small holes al the lowest part to make the draining easyer, and tapped and put screws in the holes. This will also make it possible in the future to check if there is any water in the frame, and drain it. Water is heavy, and the frames take easely 15 liters of it together!
The frames cabin has been painted, and the bubble has been installed for the final time.
I am now in the process of the real assembly. Most of the control rods are now installed, so all controls, cyclid, collective and pedals actually work, and this is a great feeling :)
Now I have started with the installation of the instrument panel. I don't have my skids yet, and I have to wait for these before I can install the engine, else I cannot move the thing around on the ground handling wheels...
