GAD 29 doubler

Haven't done the best updating this, here was today's work

  • Replaced F-745L fuselage rib
  • fabricated doubler to hold GAD 29
  • primed (stewart systems ecoprime) upper forward fuselage parts  F-745L fuselage rib, F-768-L outboard sub panel, WD-745-L (replaced with new) and WD-745-R canopy rails, F-631-A (-R and -L) canopy rear supports, and ELT bracket 
    • came out rough textured, first time using HVLP spray gun. Finished product is OK and looks good. Primer seems to be tougher than spray paint primer attempts.
  • Installed GDL 39R on co-pilot ELT bracket (hard to get bottom pop rivets in there)

Previously, installed AP Hub and GSA 28 pitch servo controller
Reinforced F-768 with J channel to support GSU 25 AHDARS...too low will interefere with slope in part - need to redo higher up
