Dad finished off the left elevator edging and prep work first thing. |
|
Today we transferred the lower wing VS, HS and trim tab skins plus the panel sub structure to the local paint shop that we've been talking with. |
|
The three of us completely scuffed the inner surfaces and masked up the outer surface for protection. Then we cleaned and etched before Alodining the surfaces. |
|
The wing surface were also scuffed, etched and alodined. The various parts will be primed and baked by the guys tomorrow. Hopefully we will pick them all up on Friday. |
|
Today has been a bit bitty, but sucessful and we learnt / saw how the pros do the paint prep. For misc entertainment I've also sorted a couple of additional pages as background to the project. The first is on current thoughts about engine choices and the second is a non-technical primer on some of the terminology used | |
