Title: Make over progress
Post by: Paul Taylor on September 12, 2017, 10:29:42 AM

I have one wing panel to go and the bottom of the flaps. I chose to leave the control services on.
As it sits it has lost almost 5oz of paint.
I will get it all sanded out and put the hardware back on to see where I'm at before I moved forward.

BUT theres 3 Oz of Paint youve missed , in the tank bay . S?P

A c hisel , hacksaw blade & acetone & paper towel in there , maybe . Acetone loosens it up nicely usually .
Though if its well stuck down & NOT fuel impregnated , that'd explain why you left it . D F R P as it were .

Labour of love , a refinish . I hate putting holes in things with sandpaper new , let alone a refinish .
Usually end up back at bare bones in disgust , with the odd patch in the balsa required  . LL~ %^@

So Well Done . H^^
