Center Section and Tail Section Joined

The hydraulic system on the aircraft is 85% complete now.  To facilitate further build up we decided it was time to join the center and tail section of the fuselage.  The joining went off without any glitches.  Now that the fuselage is all one piece again, we can begin rigging the flight control cables and finishing the hydraulic buildup.  Alan completed a fixture to hold the wings for build up and fabric covering.   The Mark VIII gun sight in the cockpit now works and I have included a photo of what it looks like projected on the glass.  Brad has tested and all but completed the electrical system.  The project is coming along nicely.
