Bryan Adams had a huge hit called, "Summer of 69." It starts out with the lyrics, "I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it 'til my fingers bled It was the summer of '69"
I've played guitar for over 20 years and never till my fingers bled, but this airplane is making me think he should change his lyrics a bit :) Cramped into the back seat, reaching through the baggage area trying to sand down a small ridge of built up micro then contour it to the shape of the strake and here I am asking myself, "WHO IN THE WORLD IS EVER GOING TO CARE ABOUT THIS?".... well, I will. Every time I fly I'll know there is a huge mound of filler in the strake. Ok so I'm borderline OCD. :) Either way I got it to the point where I'm fine with it but you can't hate excellent results. I also tackled the turtle deck cove of doom. It looks like I'll need a second round of filler in several spots throughout, but I'll have to let my bryan adams fingers heal for a couple days :)
The first round is always the worst.
