A little side project to build a Stratus 2 (ADS-B Receiver, GPS and AHRS) clone for less than $150. The Stratus 2 is $900... ;-) I'll power it up tonight.
The outside surfaces won't be primed until the plane is ready to be painted, but some parts of the skins go under others, so I applied primer (Cortec 373) by brush to those places.
The other overlapping strip on the bottom skins.
I tried a method of filling rivets recommended by Jean at TAF and it worked great! Just put a strip of painter's tape over the rivets and sand off the tops. The rivets pop through in seconds! Deciding what to fill them with and then I'll give it a shot. I like efficient!
Bottom skins all cleco'ed on and ready to be riveted.
NEXT SESSION:
- Start riveting bottom skins on!
