^^^^^nice! SAR missions are an animal all their own.
Well, it never seems to amaze me that I discover new and exciting ways to smash my hopes n dreams…..[emoji2955]
I’ve mentioned earlier on in this thread I’m helping a buddy who owns a LongEZ. While he works in all new avionics, I volunteered to work his landing gear and engine cowlings. It was my intent to get them into paint these next few days while off from work. I shot them in K36 primer two weeks ago and everything looked ok. Tonight I built a paint booth filter and started sanding on the upper and lower cowling. I fully understand that there is way more for me to learn regarding painting. This was one of those learning points that was hard to swallow, oh well, it’s all about baby steps.
So…… What do you get with four sticks of 1”x2”x8’ timber, four sections of sheet rock edging and four smashed HVAC filters and some scrap plywood?

On to the learning point…
Sanding at night with a light source is a very humbling experience. Shows you very quickly all of the errors with the prior applications of UV filler primer before the K36.
Next step, guide coat, sealer and then top coat. At least the positive take away is that I have learned a lot a out composite work and paint for whenever I start on the VariEZ (FastMover-1)
