Today I got the ruined paint on both winglets sanded down and prepped for another round of paint.

Obviously I kept a constant eye on the weather forecast.

Here’s the left winglet in blue paint, and besides one run, both winglets look good.

My evening task was to get the slot for the RAM air scoop’s lever arm created in the firewall.

To do that I cut off the bottom portion of one of the paper firewall templates and attached it to the firewall.

With everything lined up as good I could get it, I then used the paper template slot holes to drill holes through the titanium firewall.

I the removed the paper template, taped up around the holes and used my Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to create the RAM air can lever slot.

Voila… task complete.

Another task I completed tonight was wet sanding the carbon fiber glare shield on the aft nose/avionics cover before epoxy wiping it with 2 coats of West epoxy.

Still pushing forward . . .
