Yesterday I caught Speedy spending yet another day in the Complete Aircraft Care hangar getting our IS30 closer to pristine flying condition ...
    
  

- final prep -
  

- ready for painting -
 

- in position - 
   

- the old and the new -
  

- reflecting on a new coat - 
  

- quality control -
   
After a final sanding and wipe down of the fuselage a gleaming white coat of paint was applied. Unfortunately the Bernard quality control inspection picked up some irregularities in the final finish due to {insert technical chemical contamination terminology here} and some rework and re-spraying was required.

We left the expert in the late afternoon with at least an hour's work to go and lunch a distant wish. At least priorities were in order today with Speedy's time devoted to a more important lady in his life.

It's been a fantastic job from all who have put in time and effort working on the glider so far. 

Thanks everyone. 

Regards,
