Finish Kit Update August 2012 Updates August 04, 2012 Completed Canopy Preping for Inspection...... - 5.0 hrs With the W&B out of the way it was time to complete everything that needed to be done before Inspection. All of the fairings and minor stuff can be done later so the goal is to get anything done towards that goal. Today I wanted to get the plastic off the canopy so I removed the canopy and taped it up to shoot the rear fairing with primer. The painter can fix anymore of my fiberglass work as I am done. Once that dried I reinstalled and removed the last plastic and tape on any parts of the plane. It is ready. I used the canopy plastic cleaner to polish it up and I actually managed to only have one minor scratch which I think I can polish out with something from ACS. Tomorrow I will take it outside and start the long process of going over every bolt and stop nuts and get this ready for the big day.
