| I gave the ailerons the second and third coat of Polybrush, after going over the rough spots with the small iron at 250 degrees. I is hot outside, and even though I am diluting the dope 1:3 with retarder/reducer, it dries very fast and leaves brushmarks, which is not a problem in my case anyhow. |
I cut all the trim plates for the wings fittings out of aluminium from the cardboard patterns. |
| I antiqued the fabric on the rudder and the ailerons. |
| I added mounting blocks for the pilot's seat belts both on top and bottom of the member behind the seat. |
| I made a pair of 1" wide aluminum plates to bolt on the underside of the seat belt mount, and hooked a steel cable to it. |
The cable is going all the way to the back fitting bolted to the tailwheel post and back to the other seat belt bracket.
|
| Cut two slots for the seat belts in the wall behind the pilot seat . |
| Antiqued the stabilizer and the elevator. |
