Hey guys,
Haven't been on in a while as I have been putting allot of time into the plane and finally covering thing up. Whoever said that 70% done means you actuallly have 70% left to do was right. When I bought the project it was supposedly 70% finished.
My biggest problem has been that I keep adding things or changing things that were already done to suite me. Finished installing my smoke system (added item) and had my AP check the fuselage out for any things I may have overlooked. Only three small items that I corrected this weekend. Time to cover the fuselage up or I should say install the metal skins since I already had the tail covered and ready for silver. Painting the skins has been a pain since I use Aerothane. Love the way it looks and shines but hate the work it takes to get it on. I have resanded the skins numerous times trying to remove flaws and make them as close to perfect as I can get them. This is the fourth time I have used Aerothane on a project and keep forgetting how tempremental it is. I wish there was a paint that gave the shine etc that was easy to use.
Wings move into the garage this week for cover.
