Hours Today: 6.4 Project Total: 574.6



(18-2 step 1):  Ok, so I finished up deburring the tank ribs today.  I decided to take it a step further as well and scuff all of them.  Again, I'm kind of disappointed in the number of scratches in these things… 3 of the ribs had some pretty good gouges in them.  We didn't see anything like this in the empennage kit... oh well... hope it doesn't become a trend!

(17-3 step 10):  I also alodined the leading edge parts.  Didn't have time to prime them yet, so that'll come later.  You can see from this pic the new chemicals work MUCH better than the old.  We're using the alodine full strength, and this is the result of only 15 seconds!  Sure beats 10 minutes.
