Tonight, after about 3 months of hard work, the fuselage was flipped!

It's definitely a whole new ballgame now!

Mike, That's GREAT!

I need to hurry up. Too many distractions for me right now.

I hope to flip it by Halloween!

Congrats!

Nice! Another painted interior too. You guys working on your fuselages are setting the bar high.

Originally, I wasn't going to paint my interior until later. After talking with a bunch of other RV builders, they all said they would of much rather of painted everything before the fuse went together. I still need to go back over some places - like the rivet lines, F-704 bulkhead and some places where I have some slight orange peal and thin coats.

I am not convinced at all of any time savings in painting everything before it goes together. In fact, I am betting I spent at least 10 extra hours over someone who painted it after assembly. But the finish is a lot better because you can fully paint every part. If you wait, there are just some places you can't paint at all.
