Finishing the vertical fairings
2h
January 28, 2025
Okay, back to building!
I kind of took a break from building. It started with my work-related trip, and then I got into 3D printing. Time to get back to building the airplane, though.
The situation with the LCP parts is still not fully resolved, so I continued working on the fairings.
After repairing the crack in the top fairing of the rudder, I finished both the vertical stabilizer fairing and the top rudder fairing with the System Three Clear Coat epoxy. It flows really well and seals the surface.
Finally, I sprayed the fairings with the regular coat of Stewart Systems EkoPoxy. The finish is okay, but not perfect. It's only a temporary coating that will protect the fiberglass from UV light. I will probably sand it off when I am painting the airplane.
P.S. While being on the break, I've built a clone of an MSX computer. We had one of these at my elementary school.
