Project: Voltar-S21     -     Entry

May 02, 2024 2.0 Steering Cables Category: Empennage
Attached 4 missing rivets on the steering cable pulley mounts at S9.

Removed and sanded the structural filler that I added around the prop spinner filler plates… they fit nicely. What looks like a gap in the photos is actually filler— the actual gap is about 0.032”.

The structural filler is West Systems epoxy, milled glass fibre and microballoons in a stiff slurrey. The filler plates were sanded to improve the bond with the filler and the spinner and backplate were taped off and the tape was waxed prior to applying the filler. When the filler was hardened, the filler plates just popped off and sanded. A bit of cosmetic filler is required prior to paint.
