11 days or so since my last post. Frankly most of it has been sanding and filling. Quite some work on the avionics install at the same time but thats another blog entry.
This is a guide coat to see how the sanding was going. I’m a bit limited in places as there are a few spots through the filler to the glass and thats time to stop. Its pretty good.
I’m still liking the sanding sticks and wish I’d started with them!
How many pics of the same thing can you stand?
This is pretty clean at 220 grit. My painter advised 320 but I’m going with the collective wisdom that this is too smooth for paint to adhere to. I did a lot of small fills all over the place and plenty of work on the RAM air cover too.
A lot of work you just can’t see here and given its on the bottom no one else will either when the plane is all done. I mean who looks underneath?
