Well I had a few things get in the way of airplane work the last couple of days, but they were all fun, and well worth skipping polishing on the airplane for!  I did my BFR in a Super Cub yesterday!  That was a FREAKING BLAST!!!  As much as I love the J3, the PA-18-150 is BETTER!!  I am now tailwheel current again, and I HOPE I don't go as long as I did again without flying one!  I wrote about it here...but here is a pic!

Today I meant to get out to the airport a little earlier than I did, but mowing, trimming, fixing an outside light, and some front yard work got in the way.  Once I did get out to the hangar, I spent a couple of hours getting the first pass of G6 done on the rivet lines on the first wing.  It really is a pain in the ass to do this, but the end result is well worth it...at least it better be!!

Here's a shot of the day's progress...

The rivet lines are starting to look better.  I think I'm stuck with G6 for at least another pass, probably two, and maybe three!  Jeez...what am I getting myself in to!?

2.5 hours
