Default RE: Howard Engineering - Qwik Fli III – Build

The next step was to cut the fiber glass patch to go inside the fuselage. I used some 80 grit on the inside of the fuselage to ruff up the area before putting the cloth in place. This fuselage is made from polyester resin (my preferred fiberglass) so I mixed up some resin and brushed in on the cloth keeping it as dry (light resin) as possible. In these images you can see the trial fitting of the cloth on the outside of the fuse but it is glassed to the inside of the fuse.
