Thanks Bud. Nice write-up and good points regarding finishing.
Regarding paint your point is correct. With the Kolb I did what you suggest. I
did all the prepping up to primer at home (gave me all the time in the world to
correct problems, fine sand everything, etc) and then I took it to a friends
shop with a spray booth and applied the final coat (single stage PPG Durathane).
Ended up with a show finish and it still looks like new today after 20 years.
Good points on LSA. Right now no medical issues and since I was flying for an
airline
until not too long ago I had a first class. In my last medical renewal
I opted to go down to third to keep it simple since I don't fly commercial
anymore
(was starving and had to go back to Engineering :) ) It's good to know what
options are available as you get older.
Anyway, thanks. at my end I started to play with the engine install so pretty
exciting
stuff (and a bit more fun that just fiberglass work). Reading your write-ups
regarding water pump modification, ring mount install, etc).
Best,
Chris
