Garage Works Over the Past Several Days

I got these out of the garage - but I didn't document them since Nick was in town (too much winging...) and I also wanted to experiment with the Foil Drive Max (too much foiling...)

First up was the last leaking spot on Harris's Flying Dutchman.


I actually chased this one for a bit.


This was Kalani's stuff - his Spitfire 960 was banged up from when he came up at the far cabins at WPB (just like Duke the day before).





After a bunch of epoxy, solid paint marker and sanding, It came out half decent. 




And this is his Advance Ultrashort fuselage.  Drilled out and retapped the stabilizer bolt holes.



Then installed the new helicoils


All good again!




And last but not least, Ken's board.  It had three leakers and a crack on the top deck.  Two layers of carbon on the patches, two coats of epoxy, and more sanding.





I sanded to 320 and then used white spray paint to cover the carbon fiber.

Now - back to work on Matt's 6'6" Hybrid.
