Scott,
Glad to hear you are progressing. To answer your question, I am going to paint before I fly.
Right now I am working on the interior. I have the baggage platform built and upholstered, the vanity panel built (waiting to upholster until the headliner is in for adjustments). I was going to stat on the headliner, then realized that I should do the door beams first so that the material transitions underneath the headliner.
I pulled a door to start working on that for finish. That is when I discovered that even the "easy remove" blue tape I had had on the windows while priming sucks. The tape came off, but all the adhesive stayed on the window! Could be a reaction with the solvents in the primer, or just left it on too long. It took me 2 hours and some sore fingernails to get all that off (using Mineral spirits/goo gone & plastic polish).
Hope to get the doors done next and then the beams. Then on to the headliner. Seats are done except for painting the rails. I got the Pinch welting for the doors from JC whitney. Only place I could find the right color.
The good news: The parts rack is getting more and more empty!
Kurt

Turbo is rebuilt with new center housing and sitting on the bench. Oil
ump is rebuilt and reinstalled using the double thr
ead method as
ecommended by a local continental rebuilder. New induction tubes
re cut and fitted ready to go on.
I'm in Texas right now, wiring my uncles Glastar. He is very close to
inishing and requested help with the engine and panel wiring. I should
ave my engine back on the firewall and tested end of next week.
You gonna paint before you fly?

Legally you only need to inform a "Tower" of your experimental nature.
per the FAR's anyway.
Thats all I do, just the tower gets Experimental prepended to my call
sign. For all other comm with the ATC I use Velocity 647JA on initial
call up, and 7JA after that.
