The G-BZRV Story - Part 2

RV-6 Update.

Work slowed down a little due to Christmas activities, but recent efforts included lots of effort on the brake system installation, in particular the parking brake, the setup of which is entirely the builder's responsibility. It won't be long before we start work on the wings, and the empennage area is complete now with the exception of some clips and some fibreglass work, the latter of which Roger Holman has been educating me about. Put it this way, I'm glad I'm not building a whole aircraft from the stuff!

Our thoughts have also turned to painting the main cabin area, so that we can proceed with permanent fitting of components that we want to avoid getting overspray on.  We've settled on a modern grey colour, in a hard wearing epoxy finish. If I've done my homework correctly, then hopefully it should match the grey in the upholstery quite well.

The panel should also receive its first holes soon, and I know Nigel is having wiring dreams already!
