Interior Paint Prep

My friend Matt was gracious enough to help me trailer my plane to the paint booth. I borrowed the trailer from a neighbor of my Dad, and my Dad’s truck, as mine was in use by the wife for horsey related activities.

I strapped the fuselage in three places. I used the engine stand that is bolted to the firewall, the center roll bar, and the horizontal stab rear spar connection points. I placed the fuse on a rubber stall matt, a layer of styrofoam and a moving blanket.

The drive over was nerve racking, but uneventful.
