| Some more fiddeling with the cowl and the prop ring/spinner gap. I worked on the upper cowl a bit and while there is still a .04 " |
|
| difference between the top and bottom gap, I'm going to live with it and move on. It looks like the flox fill of the forward seam |
|
| worked well and I'll have a nice joint there. When Ed Hayden was visiting he pointed out something he had encountered wrt the |
|
| forward upper fuse. When you fill the fwd rivets on the hinge line (to match the cowl in my case) you end up covering about 4-5 |
|
| rivets on the seam where the upper fwd fuse meets with the lower fuse. Additionally the work to blend the Cabin cover and the |
|
| windscreen result in additional rivets being covered, The result is that you're left with a string of rivets and the skin seam that |
|
| seem out of place after paint. I was already planning on doing some filling and sanding on some of the rivet lines where the ribs |
|
| are in the upper fwd fuse and there was slight depressions in the skins along the rivet lines, so put a piece of tape down below |
|
| the joint of the upper and lower fuse and then filled all of the remaining rivets on the upper fwd fuse and the joint between it and |
|
| the lower fuse. Dean Somke also mentioned that they did this to their plane as well. So after paint the upper portion of the plane |
|
| may look like its all glass!. |
