10 Jun 2011 In the Paint Booth!
 |  Category: Wings

This past Monday the wings moved from the hangar to the spray booth.  Exciting, but a little sad too.  A lot of progress has been happening in the past few days, but most of it while I’m at work.  I’m missing the excitement!  Jamie has been spraying like crazy, and so far has put on two more coats of Poly Brush, and now three coats of Poly Spray.  These are the coatings that protect the wing fabric from water and harmful UV damage.  After a little wet sanding, the wings will soon be yellow again.  The Champ is only days away from flying again.  Hopefully that will happen before Jamie has to hit the road again for work.

    Awesome! My first solo was in a Champ nearly 3 years ago, great little bird. Looking forward to hearing about the first flight post-paint job. :)
