Default RE: The wind is your friend... sometimes.

I just added the final fix, put a ply covering on the top of the fuselage over the fuel tank. I already reinforced the firewall, by the way, I did that yesterday.

Ok.. I cleaned the engine, file-ifr. It was dirt, by the way. I used a vacuum cleaner and an acid brush. It looks fine, as you can see by the picture.

The next thing to do is to do the covering. Whatever Goldberg used on this plane, it does not go back on very well. I may have to recover everything I fixed with somthing else. I have some white monocoat so I will most likely use that.

So, once the covering is done, it will be ready to fly. Hopefully, we will get some weather that will allow that []

PS. I just noticed that the prop has a pretty big chip out of one of the blades. That is my last Bolly prop! I guess it's back to APC.
