The word was “speed,” and It looks like it was one piece to be slippery as hell.

Looking really good Bruce! When will we see some primer on that cowl?

Hey Clint, I was reading on Lyle’s COVID thread how you were sick in February. I was sick right around my birthday in January and thought it was related to all that would come later. At the very least I am glad you are well and I am well.

I hope to add primer tomorrow with fingers crossed... this will probably be the midpoint of the process of finessing those seams. I feel there are some artifacts that have crept in from the sanding and polishing which I will need to address.

Really? That's insane - that means that every time they wanted to work on the engine they'd have to remove the prop?

Yes Stuart, they did.

Bruce, sensational seam filling and sanding work on those seams. I'm taking notes as I have some pretty massive ones to fill on my An-124. I may have to forgo the CA glue though since the seams I'm most concerned about are next to the clear canopy parts. I don't want them to get fogged inside.

Keep it coming my friend! :shoutout:

Duke...coat the clear parts (both sides) with future. The ca won’t affect them. Works for me, but test first.

Thanks Lyle. I think I did that already, but if I didn't it's too late now anyway. Everything is all glued together.

That don't look bad Bruce, just a bit more prep work and you'll be there.
