| Subject: | Cleaning inside of QB Fuselage |
--> RV7-List message posted by: "Allen Fulmer" <afulmer@charter.net>
Happy Thanksgiving,
I have just moved my "completed" slow build wings into my neighbors basement
and replaced them in the shop with the QB Fuselage that has been waiting for
my attention for nearly a year now!
After the trip back from the Philippines, truck trip across country, and
storage for a year in a residential basement, the inside of the fuselage is
a little "grimy". There is no way I could hope to get it "clean" enough for
me with a rag and some sort of cleaner.
So my question is: What are some thoughts of the wisdom of moving the QB
Fuselage outside on a bright sunny day and pressure washing the inside? Not
real high pressure washing but the large nozzle designed to apply a soapy
solution at relatively low pressure. I have removed all the various parts
that need to be removed to expose everything.
I have the fuselage mounted on Jeff Bordelon's rotating fuselage stand
(http://www.jeffsrv-7a.com/FuselageStandsForSale.htm} so could maneuver the
thing quite easily. My thinking is that the only thing that might rust are
the plate nuts and if I picked a bright sun shiny day and maybe even used a
leaf blower to facilitate the quick drying out of everything, it would be
okay.
Would this be a good time to paint the interior? It is already wash primed
by Van of course.
Thoughts/comments please.
TIA,
Allen Fulmer

SimpleGreen had samples of their aircraft cleaner compatible with aluminum
available at Oshkosh.
