We ironed the fabric for the landing gear opening to tighten up the fabric that was previously glued down. We then created several unique doilies for the openings in the fabric for the many protrusions that pop through the fabric in the landing gear area., then glued them down. Also applied a fabric finishing tape to one of the seams.
We found a few additional small unpainted spots on the fuselage that had a bit of rust, so cleaned them up, then applied epoxy paint to protect the areas.
Holes were drilled to accommodate the bottom access plate for the tail.
Lastly, two small brackets were made for the latches that will keep the baggage door closed. The lower bracket slipped while drilling the second hole which messed up the alignment, so we decided to fix this by shifting the bracket down a bit and redrilling.
Hours: 8
