Today I worked a little on the underside of the plane. First I wrapped the access cover<\/p>\n

\"Wrapping<\/a><\/p>\n

and then the large section of the fuselage where it sits.<\/p>\n

\"Under<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm as I type this I wonder if I should have done the access cover in red. Well, done now.<\/p>\n

While in Tokyo, I did a lot of reading about how to clean the glue off the plastic and decided that despite the warnings I would continue with the alcohol. If the windows crack or otherwise become unusable I would not have lost anything, they are unusable now. <\/p>\n

Being over 100 degrees I took the doors home and via a combination of WD-40 to get rid of paper pieces still stuck on, and the alcohol to take off the glue I was able to get them almost completely clear. The few specks that are left can be done over time, they don’t interfere with the view.<\/p>\n

I was left with some white smears but some use of the Novus 2 scratch remover polish seemed to buff that out so I’m confident they will end up looking ok. Here’s a picture of the door I posted last time<\/p>\n

\"Cleaned<\/a><\/p>\n

It was close to 105 in the hangar on Sunday so my plans were cut short as it was just too miserable laying underneath the plane and working upwards. I did get one panel wrapped and was then able to install the new transponder antenna.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/a><\/p>\n

I was about to call it a day but I noticed that I was still several screws short in the centre console so I put those in<\/p>\n

\"Centre<\/a><\/p>\n

This went a long way to securing the whole thing. Before when using the fuel selector the whole thing moved a bit. Now it is close to rock solid.<\/p>\n

Next weekend is a long weekend and I have the Friday off as well. With some early starts I think I can get the doors trimmed to fit inside the frame and after that, the plane is ready for inspection application. Scary thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
