Short Description: Relocate Prop Hub Opening Front Surface Aft
|
Worked on shaping the material on the back side of the cowling’s prop hub opening on the bottom piece, then began resurfacing the front face of the prop opening that surrounds the prop hub.
In very slow and careful sandings, I removed material to relocate the cowling’s circular prop hub opening front face back behind the prop hub’s front face by slightly more than 3/16”. This was so once it’s in its final position, gelcoat can be coated on and finished and the front face will still be located between 1/8” and 3/16” aft of the prop hub’s front face.
Initial material removal was with a sanding disc on the air tool, then a sanding block to keep the face square. Started with 80 grit, and then finely sanded with 120.
