The first wing fill has begun.

Michael W. is seen here with the squeegee carefully applying our mix of West epoxy and 410 filler.

While a great job after cure and a sand we could see we needed a thicker mix.

A day later after a much thicker mix there is now a LOT of sanding to do with the stick of pain.

Michael wanted to try another method. This is where you establish a series of high points.

Once these are cured we will sand them down to the perfect level and height. Then the idea is to screed filler mix between these points. If it works, it means minimal sanding. It took all afternoon to do these four points and then it will be another day to sand and maybe do the filling. I have no idea if this will work or be more or less work than just the sanding as will be done on the other wing. That’s right, I have no idea. This is experimental aviation after all.
