I got the seat back adjusters drilled and countersinked. All they need now is to be cleaned and primed.
I also modified the f-757-t plate into the f-757-s plate. (f-757 is a support plate that is different depending on the type of canopy you are installing.) This involved a lot of trial fitting, removing, adjusting, checking etc. Very time intensive.
There will be a lot of "configuring" on the fuselage because the factory sends you the quick build fuselage as "one size fits all" meaning that you can take the fuselage and build it as either a tail dragger or tricycle gear or a tip up canopy or a sliding canopy etc. It also seems like a lot of the close tolerance fitting of parts is left for the builder to do.
