Since our last entry, we've been finishing up miscellaneous parts from the canopy. George felt it prudent to have someone with more experience do the fiberglass work on the canopy,so he had one of his EAA buddies come in and help us out. While our friend was working on the canopy, we continued with 'fine-tuning' the instrument panel and getting out the kinks of the instrument installation.
We also received the engine a couple of weeks ago and we have completed the modifications called out by Van's. We're at the point now of having to reposition the worktables in the garage so we change the position of the plane so that it will fit in the garage with the engine mounted.
One of the more perplexing problems I've encountered is the interior paint; it's flaking off. Before I started painting, I checked with the paint shop and I followed their directions but I was given some bad information. SO, now I've got to figure a way of dealing with the interior in terms of getting rid of the paint and repainting.
I'm going to try to do a better job of keeping a daily log of keeping up with daily work from here on out.
