| Well, the long awaited day finally arrived. ....... The painter came and picked up the plane. I'm having Rob Drew |
|
| (www.drewbrotherscustoms.com) paint the plane. Rob's background is in auto painting and restorations, He's painted several |
|
| planes and is interested in painting more. He's just finishing up a Lancair IV PT. I wanted a base coat / clear coat paint, and |
|
| Rob's VERY familiar with that obviously. Additionally, he guarantees the paint and the paint job for as long as I own the airplane. |
|
| He's definately not the cheapest guy around, but Since the paint is one of the items that really makes or breaks the appearance, |
|
| I figure given the rest of the work that I've put in to improve the appearance of the plane, this should be a good compliment. He |
|
| got the fuse in one trip by loading it on the back of a tiltback trailer/mover he has, and the wings and the rest of the flying |
|
| surfaces in another trip. I have to admit, after over 3 years of looking, touching and working on the project, as he pulled down the |
|
| road, I had a GREAT deal of seperation anxiety going on ! Almost as hard as marrying my 1st daughter! Take good care of my |
