All the parts, even the cowls and the empennage fairing have been sanded and the small holes filled.
I need less and less time to sand the parts, and there are less and less holes, maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

The fairngs got sanded and filled one more time.
The pink coler is due to the red dye I used to make the resin more visible.




Today we reached the 1500h mark after 3 years and 4 months of building.

Catégorie: Engine : Cowls

During my priming tests some paint was remaining so I had primed the lower scoop of the cowl. The good nes is there were no pinholes, the bad one is some epoxy runs where not sanded as they are barely visible under normal light conditions.
So I sanded the cowls one more time, and found some small spots that needed some filling.

After yesterday's sanding, the parts get painted with some epoxy resin. After curing and sanding, we'll see if the parts are ready for priming or if more epoxy is needed.

All the wheel fairing parts have been sanded. Those painted last time are back to unpainted status (see picture), the others were sanded before the next filling session.
It takes quite some time as the parts have complex shapes.
