Panel reinforcement
EAA 1440 meeeting last night. Charlie Cotton, a DAR, covered registering a home-built. Very timely and informative.
I had to run to the store to pick up some more Solo cups for mixing epoxy. I found some short, wide cups that work great. I mixed up a batch of structural filler and used that between the two parts of the forward hatches. I think those things are going to work pretty well.
I let that set up and worked on the reinforcement angle for the panel some more. I drilled all the holes in the angle and then marked some lines for cutting on the band saw. Unfortunately, I’ve used the band saw for cutting fiberglass. It’s amazing how fiberglass instantly dulls any cutting tool. I struggled through the cuts, but they don’t look good. It’s going to take a lot of filing. I’m going to pick up a new blade and see if I can clean up the cuts.
