Inventory finishing kit and fuselage: 4.5 hours

Britt helped me unpack the finishing kit box. We were able to inspect and check off all the big expensive pieces.

I then made a lot of progress taking inventory of everything else.

I also packed my wheels, tires, tubes etc. to be sent off to a specialty shop in CA (Anti Splat Aero). They will be installing a new sealed main wheel bearing that doesn't have to be repacked with grease every time the wheel is removed. They will also true the complete wheel assembly.

I also ordered four brake master cylinders from Grove Aircraft. These are a bit higher quality and more adjustable than the standard master cylinders that Vans ships with the kit.
