Lead the way
First round of primer, and the legs cured – time for counterweight
Now, The legs had the time they needed to be able to carry some weight. First up, some primer.
-
1. With the aerosol, I prefer the XXXXL spraybooth - the yard!
Just a thin first layer.
And then wings loosely fitted, and checking just how much is needed.
-
1. just able to stand on nose AND tail . May need one more gram when painted? (as the nose-wheel will change the balance-point just a fraction to the rear)
Well, that seems to balance it. Quite a lot that has to be glued in place!
Well, cutting the lead in smaller bites and stowing them where they will be invisible. . .
-
1. all in place here
2. AND two small pieces as far forward as possible here
That was a challenge, but with room for just one tiny bit more it is once again set aside for glue to dry – this time it is ordinary white glue too keep the bits in place.
next up I hope to have finished the primer on the fuselage and masked for red top – or perhaps the wingtips are done first. Stay tuned!
