My brother Bernie and I started the day by abrading the primer applied to the fuselage yesterday. Once the fuselage was abraded we painted it. While the paint was curing we contiued working on the engine induction alternate air source valve. We finally completed fabricating the parts so we cleaned, abraded, alodined and primed the parts. We also continued work on the engine cooling plenum at the aft left corner for a tighter fit above the oil cooler area. To finish off for the day we sanded some orange peel we found in the paint on the fuselage and sprayed one final coat for the whole fuselage.
