| I also 3D modeled and printed the canopy. This is the first time I’ve tried printing with clear resins in my DLP printer and I ended up doing three prints before I figured out the configuration and parameters needed to get a successful print. As it was, it took 13.5 hours to print and it isn’t transparent coming out of the printer. This image is of the canopy after spending about two hours wet sanding with 600 to 1500 grit paper, then moving to rubbing and polishing compound, finishing with composite headlight lens cleaner (Mother’s brand). I still have to print the frames that will sit on top of the clear glazing. That’s next. |

| Before I left for Alaska for a Fly Fishing trip for Coho a couple of weeks agao (brought back 25lbs of fish – very fun trip!) I started doing some more work on the XP-67. I sheeted the outer wings and tail feathers, and build the Ailerons, Rudder and Elevators using 1/32 sheet balsa with ribs added and sanded. When I got back, I covered the movable surfaces with tissue. Still need final trim and fill coats of EZE-DOPE. |
