Task:

Tom and I installed the main fairing. This job needs 2 people to get the job done. Initially we had a bit of trouble getting the fairing on, but with a bit of pressure flexing the moulding we were able to get it on. We had to partially remove it to remove 2 bolts then put it back on again. A flex drive was required to drill throught the fairing at the front due to the limited space. One of the cabin horizontal struts was a bit difficult to install. Swapping the order of attaching the ends allowed the strut to be attached. Also installed the rudder pedal and toe brake assembly.
