July 31st 2000 Week 5 of our follow-up of the building of a Pelican Sport from Ultravia Aero International Inc. |
This week, work was concentrated in Luc's workshop (see below).
We also will take a flashback look in the photo album to see some work done in May and June on the main gear leg fairings (deep grey background zones).
One main gear leg fairing under assembly. Both composite halves are held together by Clecoes installed on the contour lips. Once the parts are glued together, the excedent lips are clipped off and the remaining interface is sanded and polished.
So this week it's painting and seeking a finishing touch.
Here the fuselage is layed on the side. A few coats of primer paint have already been applied.

and a view of the tail's inside this week (right).
Detail of the unpainted floor (dust is due to putty sanding and polishing)
Detail of the floor and door contour this week.
A lot has been done from those original parts (left) to these with the primer applied (right).
Putting on the primer allows to see those small spots needing correction. Finishing putty (red) is applied in view of that finishing touch (until the next primer coat...).

Work goes along well. Maybe Luc received
some help? |
