Move to the airport

 Time for the big move. It went very well without any trouble at all.

Paint progress

Image
I have up on the Stewart System paint and switched to Mipa PU 240-90.  

Paint booth

Image
The paint booth is now set up, and I primed the top cowling, empennage fairing and the oil door just to check that it's working. It does, but the outside temperature has been around 10-12C, so I have to use a propane heater. Next is to try the top coat on the same parts (Stewarts Systems EcoCrylic).

Tail fairing and final work

Image
The empennage fairing had to be completed, so I did install all the tail surfaces and did the final adjustments.
