Today was painting day. Despite access being somewhat ackward everything went about fine. Only one big run on the bagage bulkhead? I'll try to remove it later.




I also painted all the non installed parts.




And I also painted the canopy deck in black.

As the frame is now painted, it's time to rivet the reinforcing braces. It goes woithout problems.
Then I perpare the upper side of the skin for some flat black paint, this will avoid reflection on the canopy.
I also had time to finish the masking of the fuselage for the interior painting.

I needed half of the day to uninstall all the parts (subpane, roll-bar, tubing, floors...)in the way for painting the interior.
I then masked the parts that don't have to be painted, some will be hidden behind the interior.

I removed the canopy agani to paint the frame. I also painted some other parts.

I did a new left canopy guide. The pictur show that the lower screw is not centered correctly!!!!
