| On my own today with Dad doing the social thing. The seat back resets were first up, no problems although it makes sense to squeeze the aft rivets before the top. | 
|
| A bit more cowl clean up / trimming - this is the top half. | 
|
| Started work on the axe bracket for the P1 arm rest. | 
|
| Dad got back late afternoon and we got stuck into a large ProSeal session. I finished the masking of the center section - this is where any fuel spills doing maintenance of the high pressure pump filter will go and I want to try and contain it. | 
|
| We finished up the old ProSeal tins, a huge batch. | 
|
| I started with the AOA ports on the right wing. | 
|
| I still haven't got the #4 screws / nuts so the custom drain affixing will have to wait. | 
|
| Dad gooped up the first step with a thick layer. | 
|
| Meanwhile I started laying a bead along the wing root, this is a recommendation I've seen from other builders to help stop rain / water driving into the cockpit area. | 
|
| The remaining Pro-Seal was used to fix the various pieces of conduit. | 
|
| With the limited working time of the Pro-Seal we just cleco'd the steps on and moved on. | 
|
| it provides a 'soft' clamp as it goes through a metal 'rib' | 
|
| The center floor section went well and the forward corners well 'covered'. | 
|
| The bucking was the normal deal of me driving the gun and Dad doing the bucking bar. | 
|
| | 
|
| | 
|
| The masking tape worked really well again - the excess is removed and the thixotropic nature of the ProSeal provides a smooth finish. | 
|
| The wing root worked well too. |
