I posted a couple of interesting videos on the Lancair Builders Facebook group page.

All rework areas were primed and transition lines from taped areas to primed areas were wet sanded out with 600 grit, then 1000 grit sandpaper.

This post displays closing out the seat panel, side close outs and the rear spar covers with access covers to allow access to the spar bolts for torque checks during Condition Inspections without removing the sealed cover. We have access covers in the floor pan for maintenance AND the outflow valve ...

A few more cowling repair pictures and a bump out for A/C controls in the overhead.

The Skoppe top cowl had an update after the first couple kit deliveries, namely a stiffener added at the top aft area to give the cowl rigidity. Joe...

My plane was a true 300 knot airframe, while most are in the 270 - 280 knot range. Although many other speed mods had been incorporated in mine (of whi...

We set up saw horses and large blankets allowing us to work while laying on our backs. Proved to be a great idea for old farts taking on young men’s work! I had a ...

More pictures of the TKS Filler point and door. Like the actual fluid tanks, the filler bucket was eventually sealed with fuel tank sealer. The door received a primer coat when all other areas needing primer were sprayed.
