Sanded my 2nd coat of micro this morning and still found some low spots and pits. Filled them with a 3rd coat of epoxy and microballoons. More canopy fiberglass sanding on Thursday.
Then prepared the top cowling per the plans. Used a die grinder with a cutoff wheel and the Dremel with a cutoff disk to trim and remove the required material to within 1/8" of the scribe line. Be careful when using the die-ginder and a large cutoff wheel. It is hard to go around a curve without going over the line. Then used a vixen file and a sanding block with 80 grit paper to sand to the line. Lots of dust. WEAR safety glasses and a dust mask!! Also the Dremel cutoff disks break easily. (One of the disk pieces hit my safety glasses!!) Prep of the top cowling piece took me 4 hours.
Time Today - 6 hours
