| I started with a little job of mounting the NACA vents | 
|
| The only decision to make is how they are going to be mounted. One option is to just use Pro-seal (aka black-death) and 'glue' the plastic vent to the skin, however I think I prefer the option of using a few pop-rivets to locate and pro-seal to provide the air seal | 
|
| Dad continued with the VS bulkhead / mounting. | 
|
| As summer has decided to start today in Central Otago, we changed tacks and got a batch of priming sorted. | 
|
| The bonus was I got to spend some time in the sunshine whilst scuffing / prep'ing the parts. | 
|
| Dad did the AllSol cleaning. | 
|
| and then I de-oxidined (acid clean / etch) | 
|
| Drying in the sun is very quick, and the wire rack was still around stored at the back of the shed. | 
|
| Then it was re-learning the spraying process. Generally got the swing of it quickly again. | 
|
| Then back to the sunshine to bake off..... | 
|
| To finish we went back to something we have been putting off for a while, elevator leading edge rolling. | 
|
| We manage to sort one of the outboard ends, stilling having problems getting an even curve / bend. Will need to sort tomorrow so the HS / elevator pivots can be done. |
