July through August 2020
Two full months of filling and sanding the airplane with micro filler. This is quite a chore and all who walk by the hangar say I must have a lot of patience and more than they. Micro/epoxy is my choice of fill material on all low spots on the plane. First off it is the lightest filler that you can use and is the least expensive if you are mixing it up yourself. As is mentioned in literature it needs to be roughly the consistency of whipping cream but must have all shinny reflection out of the mix by adding enough micro-balloons. The trick is to get it thick enough that it will sand quite easy but still be wet enough that you can spread it ok. This took me a while to get consistency.
Two ailerons on the wing, two flaps on floor and rudder.
The canopy came with a protective rubberized spray on coating inside and out.
