Making progress.......very slowly.

It's been a couple of weeks now and I'm still installing parts into this damn fuselage. It seems there are twice as many parts on a RV-6 then a -4.
I have been working on the rear turtledeck stringers, canopy deck, rudder pedal mounts and strobe light mounting plate behind the baggage wall.
What really takes the time is getting all of this stuff to fit just right and look good. The canopy deck has to look good and it right out in front for everyone to see. If you make some mistakes in this area, someone will notice it.
I have etched, alodined and primed all the parts. I went through a primer escapade. I got some OMNI primer from PPG but I'm not really thinking it's all that great. If its a economy primer, it's cheap and not very good. I painted some of the parts with it and they turned out OK. You can scratch the stuff off easily and it doesn't like getting scraped at all. Dupont DTM is WAY better primer and it's a sealer too. Get any solvent around OMNI and it's coming off........
I got some Ful-poxy from Dupont and it's supposed to be very close to DTM but not quite the wallet slam when you go to pay for it. I don't like going cheap in the paint department, however, both PPG and Dupont are putting themselves out of business with their giant price increases every 6 months!!!!
