Today was an extension of yesterday, where I finished off painting the other sides (tops) of the elevators and started on the right rudder after sanding it.
I also got the bottom of the ailerons shot with white epoxy primer, only about one coat to keep it as light as possible.
I also sanded and shot the left front wheel pant with the white epoxy primer.
Here we have the canard, which I plan to sand tomorrow, and the aileron bottoms shot in white epoxy primer.
A parting, collective shot of the elevators and rudders in white epoxy primer.
I then turned to a task that I’ve been trying to squeeze in the last few days: microing up the aft edge (near the glare shield) and the forward edge of the aft nose/avionics cover.
Tomorrow I’ll get these sanded and dialed in to match the canard skirt on the aft side and the nose on the front side, then epoxy wipe the freshly sanded micro.
Here we have some shots that simply show the left wing top and winglet after I sanded the white high build 2K primer in prep for the wing top getting shot with epoxy primer.
And the same for sanding the inverted right wing’s high build 2K primer, which was a night op with a shop light positioned so I could see.
Here’s the sanded right winglet.
Now the underside of the right wing is ready for 2K SEALANT (not epoxy primer) —due to the previous boat paint, while the winglet will get a coat or two of the white epoxy primer.
Yep, another long day… slowly getting there!
