Subject: Filler
All-
I'm polishing 95%+ of my project, but don't see any way of making
the top skin/tip fiberglass rib juncture look good without a bit of
filler and paint. Not because of gaps, but "Crinkles".I've decided to
paint just the nose skin and tips of the outboards and stab.
I've seen projects that used regular Bondo and the damned stuff
cracks and comes out. Fiberfil sticks great, but you can't work it like
Bondo. I'm afraid of grinding off aluminum trying to smooth out the
Fiberfil.
Any alternatives, or should I just haul my outboards and stab to a
paint shop and let them deal with it? Not that that's a guarantee- I
remember a posting many moons ago where a paint shop ground off the tops
of the rivets while painting.

I've listed my other 601XL kit (vintage June 2000) on Barnstormers for
$9000. I can't squeeze two 601's and a 701 into half a hanger. Here is the

Hi List,
I know the instructions call for drilling, but not riveting the fiberglass tips
on the Stab. But after reading ahead, to ensure there is enough clearance for
the elevator, should I wait to drill until after I complete the elevator???
thanks!
Peter

Peter,
If you follow the instructions, drilling the tips early will not be a problem.
You could wait until you have the elevator installed if you have doubts. But
you don't want to rivet the tips. There are two tooling holes in the outboard
ribs that establish the horizontal "line" of the stabilizer. You will want those
holes accessible when you drill the stabilizer mounting brackets. A line
between those two holes should be parallel to the top longeron of the fuselage.

All-
Think you'll get fewer "Blonde moments" as time goes on? Not in my
case. You just can't teach an old dog to keep from pissing in the
cockpit.
I'm finish rigging the control cables prior to riveting the aft
section of the fuse, so I cut two long ones for the rudders and two
shorter ones for the elevator. I attach the elevator cables.
Fill in the blanks.
ACS loves me.
