Brief Description: Dressing internal skin scratches/Fitting nose rib
A slight delay in the build process. I caught a nasty cold and did not feel like building for a few weeks. In a nutshell, I spent some time attending to the scratches on the HS 601PP horizontal stabilizer internal skin surfaces. They tend to get scratched up while fitting the ribs. A combination of grey and red Scotchbrite pads were used to feather the scratches and smooth the surface. The brown stain on the skins in the pictures is the alodine Touch-N-Prep pen solution from Aircraft Spruce. It is really handy for touch ups or small areas where you do not want to mask and shoot or spray bomb.
I also moved my workshop from the basement into one half of our garage. This took a few days to get everything rearranged. It's a little colder right now but it gives me plenty of room to move the parts around without bumping into the ceiling or walls.
