Sorry no post yesterday, the site was down for posting. I've been working on the wing root fairings and the sky light pretty hard. Thursday I worked in the shade tree shop, it was a beautiful day for working outside.
The only problem with the shop was the little green stars that were falling like snow. Not exactly sure what they are? I think the tree is called a Redbud. They did add some color to my helper BC.
I cut out the two curved leading edge fairings and the center windshield retainer from the patterns I made Wednesday. After lunch I trail fitted the leading edge pieces with the rubber weather stripping installed. With that checked , I made the necessary modifications and cleaned up all the other pieces for painting.
Today I took all the fairings out and installed and checked everything one last time before painting. Sorry but I forgot the camera so no pictures today. There is a total of 12 pieces of metal and the Sky Light. There was a surprising amount of work in making and fitting these correctly. Tomorrow I will install a couple nut plates and they will all be ready for paint. Not sure when that will happen because were in a stretch of bad weather now and I need to paint outside. It's time for the engine assembly anyway!
