5 Fuselage: December 2011 Archives

I trimmed the edges of the large aluminum area washers that surround the vent tube ports on the side of the fuselage.  I then primed and installed them



Finally, I covered the oil cooler plenum and butterfly valve with packing tape so that I can layup some fiberglass over it.  Because of the compound curves of the mold, I had to use a number of narrow strips to avoid wrinkles.
