The painting process is in full swing at the moment. Between life obligations and other flying obligations, it takes forever to get anything done, but it is getting done.
Currently we have a horizontal stabilizer and fuselage that has all the coats of EkoFill on it and is ready for EkoPrime. Took a decent amount of trial and error to get everything working right and we did a good bit of sanding to get some runs out.
Brushing the EkoFill on the fuselage took a good 4 hours give or take 30 minutes.
The EkoPrime should be on this week and then we can start shooting color (EkoPoly) the next day. I’m not sure when this will happen. I’d like to say this week too, but we’re closing in on Oshkosh and I’ve got other things to take care of before the end of the week.
In somewhat unrelated news, I’m building a wing rack so I can transport my two wings and store them easier.
