This evening I
glued a piece of 80 grit sand paper to an 18" long piece of 1x4 and sanded
the foam canopy blocks. By using a piece
of 1x4 it is easier to shape the blocks to the profile of the fuselage.
I wiped and
vacuumed the dust from the fuselage and surrounding areas. Next I taped the right fuselage masking guide
in place and put a layer of red electrical tape on the canopy and fuselage
skirt. I then moved to the left side and
repeated the process.
I then put red electrical tape over the forward canopy
to connect the 2-sides together. Next I
put masking on the canopy over the red electrical tape. I will need to mask the fuselage sides and
rough up the Plexiglas canopy and aluminum skirt. I will then be ready to start the
fiberglass. I hope to be able to put the
fiberglass on the support arms by Friday.
