It's been an uphill battle, but I finally got to prime the engine compartment. Over the coming week, I hope to get the top coat on there too. Things are looking up aboard Athena... well, if you don't consider the voids in the cockpit sole ;) Never mind, that's no biggy.  

In 18 short days, I'm leaving to spend time with Ava. I'm very excited! I'd like to shot a video in advance so that I'll have at least something to publish while I'm with my awesome girlfriend. I was thinking about doing a quick rundown of the projects I've got lined up for the summer. What do you guys think about that? :) 

Oh yeah and don't forget about the meetup on March 18. Ava is busy trying to locate a place for us all to meet up. The date is set, and it'll properly be around 3-6 pm. I'll have more info soon :) 

I better head out and take Jökull for a walk :) Have an awesome Sunday guys! :)

So sorry I can't make the LA meet up, but was hoping you can film a little of it for everyone who can't make it.

Another fun video! Your video making skills (along with your cliffhangers) are awesome! Yes, the rudder can wait. I'm not sure about the cockpit deck, though. It won't be fun removing the steering pedestal once the fuel tank is installed and the engine compartment are put back together. It may be that it is readily accessible, but if it is not, you might want to reconsider that decision. At a minimum, I would recommend disassembling and reassembling the pedestal from/to the deck just to make sure it will come out very easily later. Thank you for the video!
