I've been meaning to push out an update for a while, but decided to wait till I had the wings done.
The wings are now out of the garage and waiting for paint. They have the brushed in EkoFill, so all that will be left to do is sand and paint.
That meant that we got to move the fuselage back into the garage and think about putting stuff together. I still need to cover all the control surfaces except for ailerons and one stabilizer, but I wanted a break from all the covering.
The fuselage looks pretty awesome sitting in the garage and it makes it feel like progress is being made.
A few of the things on my list are:
- Installing the header tank
- Removing overspray on powdercoat (so far 0000 steel wool is working great. It scratches the powder coat, but I'm going to try some polishing compounds and see what happens. Either way it looks better than with the overspray on it)
- Painting the interior (going to be rolling on Stewart System's paint and see how we make out.)
- Painting the gear legs and tailwheel spring
- Install gear legs once painted
- Finish up some seat work (I have a few things left to do since I went with the new style seat rails)
- Start working on the floorboard
- Maybe something else
I've got quite a bit to keep me occupied and at least give me something else to do while I work up the desire to cover some more. :-)
I also get to use something other than brushes and scissors for the first time in 8 months!
