Work has continued on the nacelle rebuilds with the side skins of the port unit completed and riveted in place.  Work has shifted to the stbd side and the structure and skins are complete and riveting has begun on this side also.

Work has progressed on the control system installation in the rear fuselage with the installation of numerous pulley clusters and fairleads for the rudder and elevator cabling.  The rudder trim guide pulleys have been installed and the Teleflex conduit is being prepared for installation. 

 With the hydraulic tank complete and work progressing on the long range oil tank we have been able to fabricate the mount structures for these tanks and install them inside the fuselage. 

We have begun the overhaul of the conduit that carries the wiring and plumbing thru the wings.  Most of these tubes have been saved from the original wing and have been serviced and installed into the tank bays and wheel well of the new wing.

The first engine is going back together at the engine shop also.
