- it's amazing what nastiness shows up when you shoot a coat of primer on it -
Primed, still some more love on the fillets and the intakes. I was thinking this one will have to earn its strips- not sure I can complete for a shake down flight before the launch Windows close around here.
Based on this - Next is to complete the AV Bay and recovery system in hopes of a first flight in the next month.

I take it there is plenty of clearance in the tailcone for the retainer?
Any chance of a close up shot of that?
Jim,
Yea thanks - I really like the ability to paint in any weather! But I still paint outside of the weather is good.
I haven't come up with a rotisserie yet, that's would be a great idea, and I need another dedicated light.
The booth is just to see if it would work, and is a huge double wall cardboard box with a Dayton 110V squirrel cage exhaust fan that I have ported out the window. Takes up
Most of the table, but I can close the box and pull the vent when I don't use it. Big and bulky but works pretty well.
There are still some fumes - but not near as bad and no over spray dust on my floor. Could really use a little
more CFM or close off better.
The 3 shallow holes are not holes just something I've been using for location holes for me so I don't put the AV bay in backwards, and all my holes stay oriented.
