Happy 4th of July!
I’m celebrating by continuing the door fitting.
The pilots side of the cabin top had a few lower spots around the door. I filled these low spots yesterday with some micro, and today, I sanded everything flush. After that, it was back to getting the initial .025″ door gap like I did on the passenger side.
I finished up by adding some micro to the door gutter to begin working towards a nice finished surface.
Since it was the 4th of July, and it was a beautiful day, I decided to take Colleen and EJ for a quick local flight. And this would be EJ’s first flight! We went up to the airport, loaded EJ, the car seat, and Colleen in the back, and went for a short little local flight. We did a few orbits of my parents house, and then did a short tour down the river. Since it was a little warm and bumpy, and we were down low, we kept it brief. I’m happy to report that EJ had a great time! Colleen not so much… she had a killer combination of having an empty stomach, starting to come down with something, sitting in the back seat, and looking down (at EJ) while we were bumping around in the warm afternoon air. Needless to say, she got a little green. Once back on the ground, I fed her an ice cream snickers bar, and she felt quite a bit better!
