My plan is to figure out where I am going to get my project painted after flying it.
My biggest concern is whether the translucent fiberglass pieces (i.e., cowling, tailcone fairing and wingtip lights) need to be sealed / prepped before flying. This concern comes from observing when attaching the voltage regulator NACA duct to the cowling that some epoxy wicked through the cowling to the exterior of the cowling. So, cowling is slightly “porous”. Thus, my concern is that when time comes for painting that it will not be possible to properly clean it before painting. Is this a valid concern?
Anything else that I should be considering?
Thanks.
