2.5 hrs. gathering parts for the next several steps and starting the prep.

Started moving fuselage parts under my build table so they'll be easier to find.  Spent at least 30 minutes looking for the longerons...  Looked everywhere... Several times...  Where are they?!?

...only to realize that they were in the nearly hidden long tube I hadn't opened...  And there they were...

All of the longerons with their plastic pulled off.  Many more parts to be done...  Including the first several skins to be riveted on.

NEXT TASKS:

1. Continue prep of parts.
2. Need to find the rudder and elevator guides for these assemblies as they weren't in the Rib assembly parts bags (I think I found them in the rudder cable bag - to be confirmed).
3. Fill bottom rivets of elevator and fillet the composite tips of it to the skin (to be done in "spare" time).
4. Rivet the one on the left wing's step rib that needs special handling.?? (to be done in "spare" time).
