Composite guys can do metal - well, sorta
Happy New Year all.
I just figured all you "metal heads" would like to see a picture of as much metal as hopefully I'll have to do.... And even this was cheating.
The baffling kit for my Lancair was all prepunched, pre-bent, sorta pre-drilled. But I've had to fit quite a bunch of it. In fact, even in this picture I found something that I need to go back and fix...
Ah, well, I'm not sure which I despise most - body work or metal work  ...
Here's hoping all your resolutions come true. I only have one - to finish my Legacy!
Oh, and if you're curious, here's the business end of the "fire breathing dragon" thats going in my Legacy (a 370HP, IO-550)

Just trying to get my Vertical, rudder, aileron and HS tips to look good has been a nightmare. If you can do composite you probably can do metal!

Sweet
Really nice......! You know, with that pretty blue case, have you considered having the baffles anodized a light blue?
Very nice,

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with the Baffling. I'm working on paint designs now as well. Airplane will be mostly white with probably a blue and silver stripe. At the moment, leaning towards white powder coating on the baffling, the rubber seal strip is also blue.... |

Where is the engine from? Looks like one I saw doing breakin on a Legacy RG at POC the other day. A performance Engines build perhaps? (Just guessing here)
