Brief Description: More Sanding of the Windshield and Canopy Fairing
|
|
Proceeded with more sanding of the windshield and canopy fairing, first using 220, followed by 400 grit paper (dry). I am trying to get a good idea on where the remaining areas that need attention (filling) are hiding. It is taking a LOT of work to get to s surface that looks decent, I hesitate to say satisfied at this point. The good part is the more I work on it, the better is seems to get, but it also seems to be getting more difficult to make more progress... I guess down to the smaller imperfections at this point.
My plan is to continue to locate attention areas, fill and sand, and then eventually, wet sand with 600 grit. At least it looks like something that will work as intended relative to creating a nice slip stream for the air flow past the windshield, canopy and canopy skirts.
