Nothing like fresh, new fabric! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Re: N 96872
Both wings are white now.
Tonight, I plan to paint the red leading edge and big numbers on the bottom of the left wing.Attached FilesTim Hicks

Re: N 96872
I thought that I could paint the red after work. So we started at 5:30pm with the wing masked. But it was 4am before I got to bed. The good news is that it basically worked fine.
I let the paint dry a little longer (about 2 hours) than I did the last time I painted red over white. This helped a lot. Because I just had less red paint all over my gloves. Therefore less chance of getting it on the white.Attached FilesTim Hicks

Re: N 96872
We weighed N96872 yesterday.
She weighs 816#.
The last time she was weighed before I recovered her, she measured a hefty 871#.
Even with the new C85 and the hydraulic brakes, I'm thrilled that I was able to scrape off 55#.
BTW, the chocks and the level shown in the pictures were removed before weighing.Attached FilesTim Hicks

Re: N 96872
Tim when I saw the pictures of your beautiful plane, it made me long for my old girlfriend N 96864 She was also an 85 horse, same color even! I would move heaven and earth to get her back.Comment

Tim:
I think you tip the scales at 1lb more than BREY (so we'll ignore that as "acceptable calibration instrumentation discrepancy" or whatever it's called!
She looks good!
