Good day all,Getting there little by little. Have covered and taped both ailerons sincecoming back from Brodhead. Am working at reduced pace now due to August 15extension deadline. I am reassembling fittings to fuselage prior tocovering. Lots of fiddling work as some have to be re-painted. Itsdifferent this time because I am cotter-keying and safetying everything.This ain't no trial assembly.My registration papers go in to the FAA today. I must think I'll finish oneof these days!Any of y'all have any experience spraying Poly-Tone over metal. Iunderstand it gets mixed results. I am thinking of spraying the struts withblack enamel as they will get handled so much.John-----Original Message-----
