Brief Description: Flooring and control components
|
|
Let's see. I removed the rudder pedals and rudder pedal brackets, and taped off seeming every single inch of the aircraft. Seriously, there were so many blue lines, I thought I was in Tron.
Then came the bunny suit and the resperator, before I broke out the bed liner kit. I picked up this brand from Amazon, as I could get it in grey for a lot less than any other kit would have cost in black. The thinning/clean-up is xyletol or MEK, so it seriously isn't good for you. However, it will act as sound deadening, traction tape, and weather resistant flooring all in one fell swoop. I've got it running throughout the cockpit, as well as in the baggage hold.
I took the opportunity to refinish the rudder brackets in white epoxy, and do the same for the control sticks. I also finished grinding the control rod ends and primed and painted them as well.
I also ordered my tires, wheels, nose-gear components, and brake parts. Next up is assembing the control components and closing up the bagage rack. Then will be a toss-up, between the wing stubs and getting the fuselage on the gear.
