Wrong Polini Mount ring and Controls paarts painting
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2022 1:39 pm
Over the weekend we determined that Polini sent the wrong mount ring for my Thor 303. Chris was all over it he said that Polini sent 2 of the same part numbers with mismatching rings. He's getting my replacement out today.
This morning I tore-down the trial fittings of the controls parts so that I could scotch-brite, clean and hit them with a coat of self-etching primer. They should be ready for 800-grit sanding and white enamel painting tomorrow.
Looking for a local sheet-metal shop with a 2.5" dimple die for the seat bottom and back, Not much luck so far. Also no joy on finding the use of a cable tension meter for the rudder cables install.
Trying to get as much of the fuselage features done before starting work on the wings and flaperons.
