March 2018

This morning it was -15C although it did warm up to just below freezing by late afternoon.  This has been the pattern for  a couple of weeks now.  The hangar is cold soaked and doesn't want to warm up.  This combined with our winter getaway and then more paint woes (tears) has resulted in slow progress.

The paint situation was particularly disheartening because I have spent sooo much time and energy (and money) chasing various issues and thought I had things working well.  Anyway details in the Painting & Finishing section.

With the temperature moderating somewhat I hope to get back to the right wing taping and finishing soon.  In the meantime I took some tools home and built a radio package that fits in the pilot's side map box, finished the exhaust shroud and finished the pre-installation assembly of the A-65.

I posted the Radio Package details a couple of weeks ago, and now added updates in the Firewall Forward, Painting & Finishing, and Wings sections.
