spinner & paint
Submitted by ron on Tue, 02/16/2010 - 21:50Final trimming and sanding of the prop spinner backing plate was finished yesterday, the prop was re-torqued to 130 in./lbs., and the spinner is ready for final fairing and prime painting. Today, after the usual laborious masking process, the inside ceiling "under windshield" area was painted. That section was painted now, because masking the eyebrow skylights after the windshield is installed could be problematic. The windshield retainer has been painted with white UV-protective primer, looks great, and is ready to go. The large flange [head] rivets ordered last week should arrive tomorrow or the next day. The only other remaining task before windshield installation is removal of the protective coating. Absent unforeseen snafus, the windshield should by installed by Thursday. It feels like a lot of things are starting to come together. Yea!
