Update 2020 week 16 - Cockpit area painted!

Finally I got the interior painted. It was a lot of work with masking of both the fuselage and the garage. I also had to move my air filtration system in the paint booth to the garage. See pictures below.




Access panel kit

VANs has released an access panel kit that I ordered together with the alignment template that I was missing. It will make it easier to access avionics.



34 Flap actuation system

I got the  alignment template from VAN and could complete the flap actuation system.

37 Roll over structure

While waiting for the flatenner for the cockpit paint, I completed most of section 37. It was a lot to drill, but it went along quite easy.



36 Aileron and elevator system

All the pushrod for section 36 is fabricated and primed inside and out.
The stick is also drilled and ready to be mounted.

33 Rudders

The rudder pedals are now all complete with fittings ready to be installed after painting.


All nuts secured with cotter pins.

All complete

Painting


The roll over structure also ready to get some paint.

I made a bracket on the 3D printer to hold the roll over structure
while painting.









Finished and cleaned up. Far from perfect but most will be covered anyway.
Amassing how the paint attracts dust in the air.
