A few minor optical dents and dings, but should be safe otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/a>All the finished parts so far (rudder, VS, HS) are stored on the overhead shelf to avoid “shop rash” from being bumped during the processing of other parts.\u00a0 I used 18″ bubble wrap between the parts, and eventually covered all with thin plastic to keep out dust and dirt.\u00a0 The nice part is being in the bonus room, temperature controls and humidity are not a problem.<\/p>\n<\/a>Done with Section 8 of the manual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
