Brief Description: Flap fairings; fuel selector cover, NACA scoop
|
|
Today, I finished up some miscellaneous items:
1. I shot some paint on the insdes of the flap fairings, and also the outside of the fuselage skin where they will be riveted on. There is a substantial opening at the front of these fairings, and they will be exposed to 200 mph wind and some moisture from time to time. So a coat of paint can't hurt. It's a dark place in there, so I used black paint.
2. I never liked the 0.020"-thick mid-cabin cover where the fuel selector and GRT EIS unit will go -- it, like its right-sdie cousin, was too floppy for my liking, especially since there will be cockpit controls mounted on them. I cut out a 0.040" blank for the left one a while ago, and today, I cut out all the holes in it. I still need to do the slight bend at the trailing edge.
3. I applied SuperFil to the rivets around the NACA scoop that feeds the front cockpit vent.

The fuel selector/EIS panel was remade from 0.040" instead of 0.020" sheet.
