Dec 30, 2022 30 Completed the cabin cover installation Category: Fuselage
It turns out that doing lots of cutting and sanding of fiberglass is not really fun. I already knew that, but it's good to have a reminder. But I did get the cabin cover trimmed and installed. I found using a 200ml syringe was perfect for injecting a peanut butter thick flox mixture into the joint of the cabin cover to fuselage. Now that I have the cabin firmly mounted, I'm moving on to installing the landing gear and then engine, which will give me the opportunity to roll the airplane out of the garage and do some major clean up. Hey, it is actually starting to look like an airplane.

I have the ShowPlanes composite tailcone cover, so it does make a change for the tail bulkheads and interface to the cabin cover. It appears to really smooth up the roof line, but also allows installing all GPS and ELT antennas internal to the airplane.
