Gap fairing, fuse cover, paint prep. 7 hrs

Today I got a lot done. I finished fabricating my right wing gap fairings. The wings are now  99% complete. All I lack is mounting thr pitot tube and strobe lights. They are literally read to bolt on and fly. Almost. I then removed the wings and set them to the side. I fabricated the door that covers the fuse panel. I looked and looked for a latch that I liked and ended up going with a cabinet style magnet latch.     I the completely disassembled the cockpit in preparation for painting. I vacuumed it all out and scotch brited all of the surfaces. I didn't realize how many pieces go into the cockpit. I then cleaned everything multiple time with acetone.  After that I hung all of my panels that are removable for ease of painting. Very nervous but extremely excited.

  1. I've been following this build since about a week after you first started. I'm really impressed with your consistency, and not letting the project fall behind. I check this blog almost every day. Keep up the great work!
