How many hours did it take to paint the three colors on your rv-14
Would you be able to tell me where you got the design printouts for the cutouts you have made?
Looking very nice!
Sorry if this has been asked already, but what is the large yellow pull knob for in the middle of the panel?
It is the canopy release handle. I will have it either engraved or have a permanent placard put on it. Currently I just have a masking tape label.
I took a piece of tube that was extra from one of the other kits and threaded the end to accept a piece of threaded rod to screw the handle to. I also bent the rod a little so I didn't have to have it in the center of the panel.
Very nice Ken! Is that real carbon fiber, or vinyl? Looks great.
Hi Ken Your self contained breather caught my attention. Can you tell me more about it?
Thanks
Bill
It's made by 3M, I bought it used on Ebay. I use the HEPA filters, I found that I could still smell fumes with a carbon filter. The unit blows filtered air into the helmet and keeps the bad air out by maintaining positive pressure.

But a HEPA filter doesn't completely keep out isocyanates, right? I don't think there is any available filter that can remove them, hence the need for fresh air breathing system with the air supply located outside of the booth...
Nice job Ken. Here's a suggestion that was given to me by my close friend and AP. We are just about finished with our panel also and when he inspected the work suggested that we cover all of the spade connectors with shrink wrap. I know it seems like a lot of extra work but I see the validity in that we live in a very humid environment and there is always a certain amount of vibration. So, tomorrow I am going to buy some high temp shrink wrap and start cutting. Just sayin'.
