Flipped for glassing strakes


Recommended Posts

Hi Chaps,

Rolled my project out this week to flip it in preparation for glassing the strakes. Got the strakes glassed and sumps installed. Found two leaks--the same spot in each tank--at the top of the tanks where the tank bulkhead meets the side of the fuselage near the gauges. Should be an easy fix; I forgot I hadn't taped the upper-inside corners of the storage area. -Kent

That looks great. You are moving along. I won't have the luxury of sitting it like that,upside down and angled, with my canopy and turtleback finished. =] Your strakes are looking tight and well done!

Now think about it...wouldn't you rather LIVE your life, rather than watch someone else's, on Reality T.V.?

Get up off that couch!!! =)

That is exactly why I am not bonding the turtle back in until the very bitter end. That way I can take it off and not worry about smashing those time comsuming window. Can also set it down closer to the ground to work on. Build on STeve
