Nose Pant and Rudder Peddles - 3.5 Hours (107.5 Total)

Today I attached the nose wheel pant. The pant came with the bottom hole for the tire pre-cut but I needed to take off quite a bit from the front for the tire to fit.

I also installed the rudder peddles. This took significantly longer than I expected. I spent a lot of time trying to remove one of the bushings that became stuck. I ended up having to fabricate a new bushing out of scrap. I also had to sand the powder coating off the rudder peddle ends and the inside of the fittings welded onto the cage. The powder coating was too think and prevented the parts from mating.

I also attached the steering linkage arms.
