Now that the bottom is in full spotted dog effect, the radius between the fuselage and the strake is done. I don’t understand why we waited until after the first coat of primer, but that’s how Malcolm says he does it.

And the lower winglet to wing intersection gets the radius is done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the main gear doors and the main gear mini-doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

And here we have the bottom of the plane and parts after the final coat of gray primer.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this point I went over the bottom with a flashlight and pencil marking all the little tiny pinholes. Then we filled them filler. Once that set up we did a final sanding of the spots and repeated about four more times.\u00a0 Malcolm’s philosophy is with every pass, you get 90% of the flaws. So by the time we were done, we had (hopefully) filled 95% of the flaws in the surface<\/span><\/p>\n

Then we got ready for white primer.

Here’s a picture taken from “the loft”. It’s the only way I could get the whole plane in the picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve never been that good spraying so I deferred to Malcolm. I did the mixing making sure that Malcolm always had paint for the gun.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"2010-10-15<\/a> \"2010-10-15<\/a> \"2010-10-16<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the paint had cured I decided that flying in this primer was going to be just fine.\u00a0 The finish of this primer is better than the paint on the Cessna.<\/span><\/p>\n
