All the parts, even the cowls and the empennage fairing have been sanded and the small holes filled.
I need less and less time to sand the parts, and there are less and less holes, maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

The fairngs got sanded and filled one more time.
The pink coler is due to the red dye I used to make the resin more visible.




Today we reached the 1500h mark after 3 years and 4 months of building.

After yesterday's sanding, the parts get painted with some epoxy resin. After curing and sanding, we'll see if the parts are ready for priming or if more epoxy is needed.

All the wheel fairing parts have been sanded. Those painted last time are back to unpainted status (see picture), the others were sanded before the next filling session.
It takes quite some time as the parts have complex shapes.

Today I was supposed to spray the primer on most of the fiberglass parts. The visual inspection of the parts seemed to show that the surface finish was good enough for painting. But after painting, a lot of pinholes showed up.



As I didn't paint all the parts, I brushed epoxy on the remaining parts to fill all the holes. I used some black dye to be able to see how I'm progressing on the part.
I think I will need a second pass after some light sanding.




An to finish, I sanded some of the parts that got primed at the beginning of the work session.
