Build Diary 06/07-August-05
Friday, I started testing some paint for the canopy perspex,
as other builders have used different paints. The painting is to cover where the perspex
fits to the frame. Basically just to make it all look tidier. Jo came out for half an hour
to help with the riveting of the rear skin on.
Saturday was a full day in the workshop.
I Jo is helping rivet the skin on - we want to get it complete this weekend. First an hour
session then a break as her hands ache. I check over all the rivets we have done and remove
the odd one ready for another sessions. We have almost all done on I have left the corners
and a very hard to get to rivet (pictured below) for tomorrow.
Between riveting the
rear skin I have been doing some odd jobs that need completing. The second set of brake pedals.
I had decided to leave them out, but I will need checking out in this plane so I am sure the other
pilot is going to want some brakes!
