February 4, 2006 - Devinyling and Bellcranks

I'm waiting on Bruce to get back from a skiing trip to finish up the fuselage riveting.  So I broke out the soldering iron and did some serious de-vinyling of the forward top skin, seat, baggage and baggage bulkhead covers.  I also edge-smoothed them.  While I was doing it, I watched and listened to the Super Bowl hype shows on ESPN2.  Go ahead, ask me about any of the previous 39 Superbowls. 
I prepped the bellcrank parts and some aft fuselage gussets for priming. 
The Prime-meister.  The Minister of Prime.  Prime man.  Have Mar-Hyde, Will Travel. 
The Bellcrank clecoed together.  Bring on the rivet squeezer. 
And it is done!  I wish all of my rivets came out this well. 
I couldn't resist test fitting the bellcrank into the fuselage.
