Trying to complete as many tasks as feasible prior to moving to hangar. Checked all 5 sets of Kit instructions for any "loose ends". A few final torques, replaced temporary nuts, etc...but nearly all I can do has been completed. Still lots of post-its on pages identifying actions once Wings and Tail are assembled onto Fuse. Still pending Exhaust assembly as last step (to keep engine closed from moisture as long as practical). Made 2 pairs of wheel chocks from scrap 2x4's. Ordered Amerex A344T, 1.25lb Halon 1211 Class B C fire extinguisher (reviewed VAF for recommendations, pros/cons) for cockpit. Expensive at $199, but best option. Also purchased Amerex B500, 5lb Dry Chemical Class A B C fire extinguisher for hangar for $53. Checked performance of GD-40 CO Detector: OK, shows warning on G3X display w/ audible. Confirmed Flaps move down with switch acutation "down". Starting Config of G3X, but most requires Wings and Tail assembled...so will need to wait until later in hangar. I now have keys to hangar at Mt Hawley (3MY). Will need to hang some lights...

| cotter pins added 4 places on tailpipe hangars. Followed orientation per Vans instructions - which made bottom 2 much harder to install cotter pin. |
 |
| New 2x4 wheel chocks for hangar. (too tall once Wheel Pants installed) |
 |
| Just 1 light in hangar...so I'll be adding more! |
