Oct. 7th 2014 update

Ordered Chapter 13 Nose Gear hardware from Aircraft Spruce today.   Also submitted builder registration transfer for plans 1675.  Submitted the release form for the purchase of the Eureka wing core foam.

Received a new cutting mat and scale today.   I've got two scales now, one will read up to 5 .lbs and the smaller only up to 100 g.    Both are handy because the smaller one is more accurate for small quantities and the larger one can measure bigger objects that the little one can't.

Checked the epoxy pump (meters by volume) by pumping hardener and epoxy into separate containers.   The proper weight ratio is 100:40 versus the volume ratio is 100:50 for the MGS epoxy 235.   The weight was pretty close.  

Chapter 3 practice lay up is curing now.   It was a little warmer in the shop tonight and the wind was blowing through hard enough that the 12.5 x 18 fiberglass squares wanted to flop around a little when trying to line them up.   I'm anxious to see what the weight is going to be.   I wear cotton glove liners and powder free 6 mil nitril gloves.   They're heavy enough to reuse several times.

Scheduled some flight time on Friday at KFTW with a new FBO.   I need to stay current and get checked out in another rental plane.    One of the C172's I rent at another is down for maintenance.  The one I got instruction in keeps pretty busy so its nice to have options.
