More pour foam was ordered and received that was needed for fairing the turtleback and sumps.
Zolatone was ordered and should be here this week.
Received confirmation the engine should be ready in a few weeks.
Some Souther Polyurethane epoxy primer has been sprayed in the nose and the cover was glassed on.
The canard cover and mounting flange were made.
New canard contour templates were made.
The canard epoxy wipe has been done.
Some dimples were added inside the nose to increase clearance for the Dennis Oelmann rudder/brake pedals.
Retaped the turtle back windows to prep for Zolatone.
Here's a few photos of progress...
 |
| Bondo curing with weight pressing down on canard cover. |
 |
| Box tape was applied to the cover and a BID flange was laid up on the canard. |
 |
| Dimples added for brake pedal clearance. Masters can nearly fully compress now. |
 |
| Camlocs/flange for canard cover. |
 |
| Canard cover in place. The camloc receptacles were removed and remounted after removing a little glass in order to achieve proper thickness for the -6 camlocs I use on the other covers as well as this one. |
 |
| Canard epoxy wiped. |
 |
| A few dry spots were found in the epoxy wipe after turning off the bright lights. |
 |
| I made several contouring templates. The 2x4 on top was overcut by the thickness of sandpaper and used on the top of the canard. The bottom template was overcut the width of the bandsaw blade and used to check progress while sanding. The top template was cut right on the line. Both were traced onto graph paper to compare accuracy. |
