Bonding the top skin

Posted by

Been putting off bonding the top skin for some time. Was about to do it then realised I need to run another cable for the propellor pitch control. I don’t have the prop cables yet but left some space to hopefully easily thread it later on.

When the top skin is fixed it seriously restrict access.

Anyway, set to work with Sikaflex 295 UV, instructions say > 10C, so waited till the afternoon we hit about 12 C inside the workshop.

The Sikaflex is messy stuff, it gets everywhere. Also messes up your clecos. Lots of acetone was used to clean them and everywhere else it got.
