Outer Wings (cont)
Sanding and Solartex application.

Sanded all surfaces using 100 grit: may appear too low of grit but needed to remove excess resin.




All surfaces should be dull after sanding.



Solartex application.
Used a metal ruler to get a nice straight line.


Took the 'sock' off to get better conductivity. Can't do that with some painted coverings as the color comes off.
After edges done at 130 C, did the center at 150 C.
Only did the top, so far. May need to access inside.
Wiped all surfaces with alcohol before applying solartex.







Moving surfaces (cont).
Epoxied the pin hinges into elevators, rudder and ailerons.
