All-

     I told myself that today was the  last day I was going to polish the c-section. There are still parts to cut  undersize and holes to drill where they don't belong- this finish work doesn't  suit me.

     What you see is what 50 hrs of  farting around will get you. According to Ron at Nuvite, I can plan on at least  another pass with grade S, maybe one of C, too to get rid of shop rash. He  doesn't know the kind of shop rash I have to deal with. More like a gallon of  body putty and a major rebuild!

     I WILL start on the rear fuse  before vacation is over. I think I can, I think I can.....

     Good building!

Bill,

  

 Good thing the 601's qualify for sport pilot. You  may need it by the time you're done polishing. And by that time, it will be time  to start again.

  

  

 do not archive

Bill,  

   

Thanks for keeping us posted on the problems/progress. I’m still leaning in that direction, too. I live about 3 hrs from Nuvite HQ in Petaluma,  CA and need to be in that neighborhood next week. Looks like a visit is in order.  

   

But, really, don’t you think if you worked a little harder you would get done faster?

 601 HDSTD, WW Conversion 90% done,

A lot of work but it looks to  me that it will pay off.

Gary-

     Not harder, smarter. Out of the  50 hours total, I spent 20 hrs and $70.00 trying to find usable bonnets  locally, then wasted another 15-20 hrs by not using enough compound. Once you  get the hang of it, the same job should realistically take 15-10 hrs total. Of  course, you still can't get away from getting  yourself and everything you touch black, and polishing is boring as  hell.

     FWIW, my Nuvite came from  Brooklyn. Stuff was probably originally formulated for cleaning up stolen  silverware so no one could identify it after you fenced it. One day, an  enterprising soul decided to steal an airplane, and the rest is  history.

     And that, dear friends,  is how urban myths originate..........
