We had an absolutely beautiful weekend here, which made it much more pleasant to work in the garage. It also meant that there are a few spring chores to do, which cut into the available building time. I had a visit from an RV-7 builder today, so that motivated me to finally clean up the garage a bit. I'm sure Steve and Denise thought it looked like a disaster area, but it really does look better than it did a week ago. :)

Yesterday I took advantage of the warm weather to go outside and paint some parts. I also riveted the hinges that secure the rear seat riser to the cockpit floor. Today I finally riveted the rear seat riser together. Some of the rivets were hard to get at, and I screwed one of them up so badly that I had to drill it out and use a larger one, but in the big picture it came out very nice.

I've also spent some time working on the test cards. I've got test card templates completed for over 85% of the test points that I have identified to this date. I'll pick away at this over the next few months.
