I'm going to be making up my fuselage bulkheads and instrument panel in the next few days, but before I break out my trusty pencil and ruler, does anyone happen to have CAD plots for the form blocks they wouldn't mind sharing? A PDF file would be even better. There are a few sources for wing rib plots, but fuselage bulkhead form blocks seem to be a little harder to come by. OK group. Thanks in advance. BTW, I posted this to the other Zenith list too in case someone hasn't migrated over. Looks like a common problem with these multiple lists is going to be multiple postings. That's fine. My delete key works.

Can't wait to finish mine. By the way, how mirror-like is that finish? I polished the hell out of a piece of aluminum just out of curiosity and even though it's mirror-like, it's still not super-clear, and just getting to that point I noticed I worked a piece of .025 down to .024. So how mirror like is that surface really to get it to a point of 'good enough'. Looks great in the video! cookwithgas wrote: > Hi guys: > > Yesterday I made my first takeoff and landings on a grass strip. It rained all day Friday so it was kind of mushy but all went well.

Read the material on Perfectpolish.com. It doesn't really remove material, but it folds down the grain. I made about five passes with the F9 Nuvite. It took weeks to do and made a mess but it was worth it. Keep at it and you will be practicing landings like I'm doing in no time. This afternoon it was perfect weather here in Nebraska and I did several touch-and-go's. I'm really liking the way the 601XL handles.
