Default RE: Goldwing 50cc Pitts Python V3.

I have another thread going on in the Question forum about re doing this cowl...

The skinny is, it's polyester and it's crap.. The cracks I had in the paint, are cracks in the gelcoat, doing some more sanding last night, the to which is very weak, pushed in and cracked some more of it.. What a mess!!

My options are to just paint it as is and keepon GMP-GW for a new one, but I doubt i will ever get one out of them and who's to say it won't be a POS as well... Option two and probably the one I will take, fix it right.. I will have to glass over it to beef it up and give me a good foundation to build off of.. I was thinking of glassing it and trying the Liquid sheeting over that, then primer and paint. I have another plane that I am planning to use the LS on and this will be a good test to see for myself how it works... All in all, it's a lot of extra work.. finding it hard to keep a smile on my face!!
