February 10, 2008 - Prime Baffles, Emp Tips
I finished edge-smoothing the last of the baffle parts, scotch-brited the Alcad so the MarHyde would adhere, washed them and then primed. It was still relatively warm for February -- 50 degrees.
I've done about all I can on the baffles. I can resume work on them when the engine is mounted, hopefully in March.
I had riveted this horizon stabilizer
tip previously. However, looking at the rivet heads, I was shocked
to discover that some of them were not flush. I must have dumped
some universal pop-rivets into my flush pop-rivet brown paper bag.
Nothing to do but drill them out. Doing that ruined the backing
strips so I had to redo them. Oh well, it's not the first time I've
had to backtrack on the
project.
You can be sure I double-checked that
the pop-rivets I used this time were all
flush.
