The proseal trick did not work as expected. Before redoing it, I install the nutplates for the six screws that go from the spinner to the forward plate. It's the usual drilling, deburring, countersinking and riveting sequence. I then apply a new layer of proseal hoping for better results. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 13h) |

Still working on the spinner installation. After having sprayed a coat of primer on the gap fillers, they were assembled and riveted to the rear plate. One rivet is missing as it was impossible to squeeze without removing the propeller, I will do it later. I then countersunk the holes on the spinner and tweaked the blades' openings. There are a few small gaps between the forward plate and the spinner, I use some proseal to fill them and have the spinner tight on the plate. To avoid having the proseal stick to the plate it is wrapped in cellophane. This shows the screw holding the spinner to the filler gap. This is a global view, I'm now waiting for the proseal to cure.

Before drilling the spinner to final size, I want to make sure it is still turning true, I want also check the gap with the cowling that was set a long time ago. So I install the cowls, the propeller and the spinner. Everything looks good. So to next phase, which is drilling the spinner and the gap fillers. Then countersinking and deburring where it's required. Before riveted some priming seems appropriate. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 9h) |

I first mask the parts that sould not get any paint, before spraying one coat of primer. There are still some small flaws, they will be taken care of before final painting. Some of the parts. And the remainder, I still have to prime the spinner and the wingtips. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 65h) |
