Big day today- we got a lot done, including the first coat of what will be the final finish color (Insignia White, I believe).

The elevator finally came back from the "hospital", with some new braces and a little beefing-up on some welds on the other side. Here's how it looked before we sandblasted and epoxied it today. We're hoping to stat covering it tomorrow.






There's a hinged window for the rear-seater... the frame was already cleaned up and painted, and we installed some new Lexan today. Done!





Finally did the etching, Alumi-Dyne, and a coat of epoxy on the vertical stab, main canopy frame, and the horizontal stab. struts.






The highlight of today was, of course, seeing 94H sporting the first coat of Poly-Tone... sexy!!

I knew you boys would be chugging along today. Absolutely great weather today. Unfortunately, my lens was nowhere near a winged craft.

She's looking great Sean. Good job!

Good job Sean......keep reminding everyone on the project about "WING LOADING"..........don't add any more weight than absolutely necessary......that includes paint layers........after all, it is dependent on minimum sink rate (Max L/D) to make it to that next thermal, for long flights......

Rest assured we are aware of that... The informed consensus is that so far, we are doing a good job keeping the weight down... but the proof will be in the pre-flight weight/balance check.  Our chief instructor has been dieting, to... that will help.

Looking good!!!! 8-)
