prime the whale
The HP-24 fuselage is in the spray booth and tomorrow if all goes well
she gets the better part of a gallon of sandable primer sprayed on her! Gotta love those CostCo hoop houses, I put 1 and 1/3 of them together lengthwise and it makes a reasonable spray booth..............actually, it should work really well. Got an exhaust fan rigged and the netting windows should make for good fresh air intake. Decided to go all polyester, since the 2-pak stuff could cause our critters to become horizontal.........don't want that! Brad (an already crazy homebuilder) |

Hello Wayne,
hah..............nice to see those pics again. that fellow and his friends have steered clear of the shop, but an owl and a few of it's friends have come in for a chicken dinner a few times! our cats and dogs wander around the shop now and then, wanna keep them safe without having to fit respirators to their snouts! The whale...............well it's probably going to be stuffed in the corner of the shop soon and wrapped up in plastic. Cheers, Brad |

Cheers, Brad I too enjoyed those photos again especially now that I know who I'm looking at! Hey, that's the guy we split the room with at the convention! Very cool. Tony C called me one day recently when a young red tail hawk was having some difficulty at the Ames airport. We had the university wildlife folks come and get him but not before one of the lineboys got some amazing photos of him up close with Tonys 421 charter ride in the backround. Maybe T will post them. It's good to keep up with you and your project from all these miles away Brad. Hope to see you in person soon! Matt |
