Got a bunch done last week.... The Punch list is getting shorter... Most of it is boring stuff that everybody has seen and done... nothing too out of the ordinary. We did get to test fit the interior and installed it only to take it back out until final assembly. Don't want to get it dirty...
I think at this point I should have some stock options at Aerosport.... I Think the phrase "give me one of everything" was actually mentioned at one point....
Overhead is all done.... still filling around it a bit..
Made our heater pull location
Fitted the MH O2 Canister
Worked on the doors.... you know the drill... fill, sand, prime, fill, sand , prime, fill.... infinity... Really wish Vans would do a better job on the fiberglass. These things are really done horribly to try and finish them.... They might be great functionally and structurally, but the interior dents and pinholes are nuts. We're still far from calling them done.
Also started prepping the cowling for paint... Filling pinholes using a process described by Bryan at Showplanes... we used a Bondo Brand glazing putty that has usable time of about a minute, so you work a 1sq foot area at a time. Sands really great. We're only trying to cut down on the prep time for our painter as he is taking REALLY good care of us....
Shayne did make a really cool cleat for the Showplanes intakes to make it clean up against the ramps. I think it looks great. One of those things, when it's done, that only another builder would notice....
Sorry to disappoint.
