Hot weekend working on fuselage

06/01/2013

Covering

This is a summary for the entire weekend. With temps hovering around 108, I spent as little time in the garage as I could. The longest I stayed outside was 45 minutes and I was dying after. 

Friday night, I finished ironing the side of the fuselage. Saturday morning, I turned the fuselage right side up and cut out the material for the rear turtle deck. That afternoon I cut out the fabric for the forward turtle deck. Sunday, I glued and shrunk the forward and rear turtle deck over several little steps. Gluing the rear turtle deck to 45 minutes and I was really sweating when I was done. Saturday night, I turned the fuselage on its other side to mark the holes and prepare to grind down the leading edge to match the wing leading edge.

finished covering turtle decks and preping to grind leading edge.
