Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

I set the Dexter Morgan cut room in back of the garage today, might do a little spraying tomorrow.

Turned the wings and ailerons gray with EkoSpray. I went over the wings at least twice with an iron but the EkoSpray really highlights all the loose tape and spots that need ironed. Thankfully the the EkoSpray can be heat smoothed.

Cooling off here in the Burg, low 60 high with lows in the 40's next few days coupled with rain, might delay paint work.

Sun came out this afternoon, put the white EkoPrime on. Sand tomorrow, maybe color? The EkoPrime sands much better than the EkoSpray.

I flew Saturday (1 flight), everybody is at Nall I guess as only one other member was at the field. Once he left I didn’t fly. But the early afternoon temp was only 68 or so. Wife like to golf so we golfed today in the low 70’s. Very cool recently.

In another month you will be longing for one of those 70 degree days while sitting at the pool drinking an IPA(Indian Pee and Alcohol) !

Well after 5 hours of sanding and 3 hours spraying, the wings are 7AC yellow. Finally getting the hang of this paint. I will let the wings cure for a day or two before masking for the N numbers. Might shoot the Cherokee plug tomorrow with white acrylic enamel paint. Then more on to painting the Super Cub.

Not easy to paint. My last paint job was my MK Blue Angel 10+ years ago.
