Wing spar touch-up

Posted on by Neal

When my quick build fuselage arrived, there was some minor abrasions on the ends of the wing spars. I had been delaying a repair, but decided it was time to tackle the problem. Some careful filing of quickly removed all traces of the scratches. I then used an anodizing touch up kit from aircraft spruce to protect the exposed aluminum.

Seat belt install

Posted on by Neal

Tonight (and last night), I spent time installing the seatbelts. These are 5-point Hooker harnesses, and they look great! The install was a case of simply bolting each point on, and touring the nuts. Except, the bushings on some of the points needed to be ground down to be able to fit within the various hard points on the aircraft.

An example of where I needed to grind down a bushing. By getting the bushing flush with the edges of the steel seatbelt fitting, it nestled nicely into the aircraft attach point.
