Looking great. One thing to consider is raising the last standoff that holds the center aluminum spine next to the vertical stabilizer so that the plane maintains its visual proportions. I raised mine by 4 or 5 inches as I recall and it keeps the plane from looking too thin back near the empenage. I have seen a few bushmasters that didn't do this and to me they look a little odd. Great progress. Keep up the good work.

I replaced the butt ribs with new Univair ribs. The tank bay is ready for stitching. The trailing edge aft of tank bay is reinforced. These tanks are the 24 gallon Dakota Cub STC.
I had to install a pulley to redirect the flap cable so that it would clear the tube.
Getting wing ready for stiching using the Stewart System.
