| Finished sanding flush the oil access door, then began assembly of the spinner & backing plate. there's really not much to do |
|
| here, drilled holes to attach #10 nutplates on backside of Carbon Fiber backing plate. The #10 holes are pre drilled. I firat drilled |
|
| them #40, and countersunk them, but thn went back and enlarged them to 7/64 so that I could make sure that I got primer into |
|
| the holes. I understand that carbon fiber and aluminum have a corrosive reaction to each other, since the rivets will compress |
|
| this will help insure that there's some primer protecting/seperating the rivets from the carbon. I also cut out the prop blade |
|
| openings and backing plates, and sanded then smooth. the spinner got several (3 coats of smooth Prime while priming the gear |
|
| fairings, but didn't get sanded tonight. mayber tomorrow. |
