Combo update for Tues & Wed. Inbetween waiting for the SuperFil layers to cure, I removed soem tywraps in the engine |
|
compartment that were tied around the engine mount and replaced them w/ Adel clamps. Also secured some of the control |
|
cables. I've got a couiple more to do and then everything will be buttoned up. Meanwhile, the major activity has been getting the |
|
cabin cover inside ready for paint. There are some 'Joggles' in the cabin cover around the window and around the aft borders. I |
|
want the painted surfaces which wont be covered by upholstery panels to be smooth. so that meand I have to fill the low spots |
|
with SuperFil and then sand, fill, sand, fill ..... I also decided the cover all of the rivetheads on the longerons where the cabin |
|
cover attaches. Two applications of SuperFil with sanding in between, and then I'm finishing up with applications of Metal Glaze. |
|
I'm putting a rounded fillet at the bottom seam where the cabin cover meets the longeron. I'ts a LOT of extra work, but when I'ts |
|
all primed and painted it should look outstanding and will provide a more tailored/finished interior appearance. |
