A Big Weekend.

This weekend I got a lot of work done, huge clean up in the hanger getting ready for the big flying next weekend. Also the fuse was painted (A big thanks to Simon), next is to paint some flooring and some side panels, “I hate paint ” IT SUCKS.

We Started to Paint

Big thanks to Simon for splashing some paint on, what a great job he does. I can tell you from the prep side its a lot of work, i have spent hours prepping all of the parts, only got a few painted today do to another job he has, so i just fit in where i can and as its just primer, it works in well.
Piss poor prep , is piss poor finish. worth the time spent

Paint is Close

Yesterday, a trip to Wagga to buy some paint to prime the whole plane
