Wow what a party

Thanks to Tom, Pete, Keith, Jon, Tim, Tony, Mike we made quick work of the sanding job, I estimate that we put in ~10 man-hours and this was the way to go for sure. I apologize that the beer and food never showed up, now idea what happened with that.

Next step is 2 more coats of silver (aluminum powder in a liquid base) and then the white top coat.

Thanks!

Project update

The fuselage fabric is all shrunk as of this afternoon and tomorrow I will be applying the first coat of goop known as "pink" and is brushed on.

If interested in helping this weekend please let me know, there's more fabric work to be done and easy to learn how.

2-33 Project report

As of Saturday 5/17 the fuselage envelope is on and fitted into place and Pete has most of the fabric on the Elevator, more work will continue today and more help is required.

Project update 5/4/08

Team,

Broken and split tubes in the cockpit have been repaired (thanks Andy G. for the use of his torches).

Rick has a few misc. pieces that he's prepping for paint at his house.

Mike is going to finish cleaning the controls (Monday night?) Mike make note that the combo to the lock is 36 - 38 - 8 and that the rear elevator pulley is all set.

New access hole in nose-bowl will be repaired by me however there is a great deal of work to be done on the nose-bowl so if there's someone with basic bodywork talents please lmk.

I hope to paint this coming Thursday night if it warms up.

Andy
