Not a ton of time spent due to other obligations. I did get the other side of the wing prepped for the new landing gear. I removed the old gear and mounting spars. I measured very carefully to match the other side symmetrically. I also prepped the main ply pieces needed.
While I worked on the above, I was shooting some paint. I got primer on the spinners and got two coats of blue as well. Letting this all cure out overnight.
I also shot some black on the props. Just one side. As this is an enamel paint it requires a lot of time to cure but will be less prone to chipping or rubbing off. Also of note is that the information provided from the EAA shows that the props are Ratier brand. A french company but I've sourced the logo. In consult with Carl (Wilmracer), I'll inkjet print the logo onto waterslide decal paper, seal it, apply it, and seal it again onto the props.
Making good headway. Once the gear is done things should pick back up in terms of daily progress.
