The Monnett Monerai’s airframe is now ready for painting. I installed the landing gear and spray painted the canopy frame. I also made the basic parts for the seat pan and instrument panel.

The next step is applying primer to the wings and parts of the fuselage. That’s something I really dislike – the primer is very smelly and sanding it gives a huge mess. I’ve been waiting for it to get a bit warmer so that I can work in the barn with the door open. I hope to get a chance next week – especially since it’s likely that I may get a slot in the paintshop the week after next. Fingers crossed.
