We continued to work prepping the fuselage for covering. Two fore/aft members were added onto the sideways members added previously. This is forming the opening in the fabric that will allow us to pass the Grove landing gear through the covered fuselage. Two 1/2" aluminum tubes were machined on the metal mill to tightly fit. After the areas were roughened and cleaned with acetone, they were epoxied in place with the Hysol epoxy.

We also checked over the fuselage and found quite a few locations that had finish pits. We cleaned the rust from these areas and applied epoxy primer that matched the Gray paint color. There were a LOT of areas that needed touch-up. Hours: 3
