Fuselage Smoothing

Posted on October 26, 2012May 17, 2013 by Jared Yates

Today I finished heat-smoothing the exterior of the fuselage and one side of the interior. I found that the iron shoe was getting pretty gummy with baked-on Polybrush, so much so that MEK wasn’t really getting it off. The green scotchbrite pad in the die grinder worked pretty well though, and left behind a nice polished finish. I also removed the elt bracket from the floor panel that goes aft of the rear cabin bulkhead. I’m planning to move it to the back of that panel, so that I’ll have a place for my feet in case I ever try to sleep in the cabin.
