painting interior

Post by Bob Patterson » Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:17 pm

Hi Mike !

FWIW, I painted the inside of the cockpit with a flat almond
paint - to eliminate reflections from bare metal, while keeping it
reasonably bright inside. It gives a finished look without a headliner
or extra panels, so you get 'utility' without the extra weight, and
better appearance ..... just my thoughts.

How come I keep running across people priming the interior? It is a utility
plane. Why not bare metal?

Hi everyone.
Fuselage is done up to the firewall on s/n 374. I had some time off so I
pulled everything out of the interior and primed it. That's going to be the
finish for the interior; it's a utility airplane right? . Reinstalled
everything back in and it feels good

to know that a lot of it doesn't have to come back out again!
While putting everything in place I noticed that the control horns that
attach to the control tubes will hit the aft spar when either control tube
between them and the mixing unit are in the most upper position. Has anyone
else come across this and if so wha

t's an appropriate fix? Shift the hanger inboard or shorten the control
rods?
Hopefully starting the tail mods this weekend.

I hadn't thought about the shiny metal and reflections. That's an excellent
point. I really liked the look of the gray primer that Chris Gill used on
his SR. But a lighter color might be just the ticket too. Thanks.
