I said enough with the paint stripper and took the fuselage to a sandblaster.
Now that the weather is hanging in the upper 20's I be waiting for warmer days
for painting.

So what I have been working on is stripping down the engine for rebuild.

If there's *any* moisture in the air, it won't look like that for long.
I'd be finding a way to get some kind of rust proofing on there quickly.

you are getting on that bird with wheel pants, enclosure, strut and wheel leg
fairings, and what engine are you using? A question from a newbie to the site.

When I had the original fat aluminum gear, adding fairings to the gear changed
the nose up/nose down trim noticeably, and added a couple of mph to the cruise
speed.
Do not have wheel pants now.
The current enclosure gives me around 65 mph at 5400 rpm with the 582, IVO 72"
2 blade, and 2.58:1 B box.
The wing struts are extruded faired, so they are as good as they are going to get.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
