Brief Description:	Ruder pedal install and epoxy floorboards
Continued rudder pedal installation and coated floor boards with epoxy. In re-reading the instructions on the two part varnish that came with the kit, I discovered that the 2nd and following coats should be sprayed on - you run the risk of problems if subsequence coats are heavily sprayed or brushed on. So, since I prefer an epoxy coat anyways, I decided to brush on epoxy. This was a test in that I've never done this before and it didn't turn out like I'd prefer so I have some sanding in my future – and a search for a more appropriate epoxy. As to the rudder pedals - I noticed additional force was required to actuate the pedals after installation and suspect I and/or variations in mounting surfaces in the weldment were responsible. More evaluation to follow.
