Week
54 June 4-10, 2000
6/4/00 -- Only 53 days until Oshkosh
Nate started laying glass on the cowling. Ever forgetful as he has
become in his hurried attempt to complete this aircraft, he ran out of
epoxy.
6/5/00
While waiting for the epoxy to arrive by mail he began
working on the rudder. Then he ran out of aluminum rivets.
6/6/00
As
one thing leads to another he began stitching the vertical
stabilizer. He would make quite the seamstress. Next he began
painting the rudder and elevator.
6/7/00
Things are moving smoothly now because
the epoxy arrived and he got to the store before they closed to pick up
the rivets. The first layer of glass is now dried over the Styrofoam.
6/8/00
Nate asked me, the engineer, over to help glass the cowling. Things went well
and the second coat of glass was applied. Dope was applied to the ailerons.
6/9/00
We spent Friday evening sanding down the second layer of glass.
6/10/00
The third and final layer of fiberglass was applied and sanded down.
The first layer of filler was placed over the fiberglass. What a busy day!
