Good morning, Dick
It looks like you did a good 2 sqft/h.
Would you agree with the estimate? (I have no idea of the dimensions of a 701)
Regards
Carlos

When I saw the picture of the skin that Carlos had polished it inspired me to get busy. Since
it was raining here in Northern Wisconsin this morning I figured this would be a good day to
start. I polished the left side of the fuselage from the tail to the door in 5 + 30. The last
area that I polished seemed to go pretty fast. Part of the time was spent getting used to the
equipment and applying the correct amount of polish. It appears that the five pounds of Rolite
will be enoght to do the entire plane. I am very pleased with the results. Makes me glad that
I took the plunge with the polish instead of paint. Probably have arms like Popeye when I am
done but is good exercise too.
A while ago there was a post concerning the UV degradation of brake lines. The brake lines on
my Kolb are nylon (not sure which nylon) and it was recommended that the exposed lines be
covered. I found a 1/4 inch ID plastic covering (not the split stuff) at a car parts store. I
think it was intended to cover wiring looms. It was inexpensive and after 2 + years and 120
hours of flight time the lines are fine.
Take care
