Title: Taking the plane to the paint shop!
It was a big day! 1. First, I spent a few hours doing some final prep work on the airplane. I removed all stray bits of resin, tape, and anything else that shouldn't be on the outside of the airplane, I removed the final strip of electrical tape from the windshield and had a first look at the job I did on the windshield fairing sanding/feathering (it came out really nice!), taped up all the wing root wires and rudder wires, cleaned off a few stray Sharpie marks, covered interior with protective blankets, and did a few other jobs. (I wanted to mask the interior myself, but that's one of those jobs I just ran out of time for. My painter will take care of it.) 2. Next, with the help of my friend Jim, we rolled the plane out of my hangar, tied the tail wheel assembly to the back step of his golf cart, and drove it down the taxiway to its new home for the next month or two, where some magic will happen--at the talented hands of my OTHER friend Jim. I got back to my place and had nothing to look at except a big empty spot in my hangar and a set of dusty tire tracks leading out onto the taxiway.
