I’m lucky that my wife is a big help cleaning this plane. I was nervous about the plexiglass, but after buffing I realized how easy it was. I’m going to try and go after the oil stains tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using AGOnline

Another update, I tried to take more pictures I’m really bad about before and afters. For this process I used both BF compound and Sonax cut max. Which one do I prefer I’m not sure to early to tell, since the sonax just arrived from auto geek. Polish I used the BF polish and Sonax Ex 04-06 still...

More... I did some more detailing on the 310 today. I forgot to take a before picture my mistake. I used BF WW, and Clay Mitt. Then began the compounding with Blackfire. I first started with a Meguiars microfiber pad, but wasn’t very impressed. Then I tried and buff and shine uro...

Thank you! I’ve heard mixed reviews on single engine performance, but if I follow the numbers it shouldn’t be to bad. I might install a VG kit to try and help improve stall speeds. I’m just ready to get it flying to share more progress. Sent from my iPhone using AGOnline

Slow updates, but it has improved from where it started. I have a video of it running, but for some reason I can only upload pictures here. Sent from my iPhone using AGOnline

All that is really left is the top of the tail, the wings and the underbody of the plane. Hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend to play with it. Also soon I should be posting a video of it taxing around soon. Sent from my iPhone using AGOnline

Sorry for the late response. It’s taking me awhile to do this plane. More of the cleaning aspect is taking a long process. I’ve been using BLACKFIRE waterless wash, Clay bar, BF clay lube,BF compound, BF polish, BF sealant. Also as of last week I upgraded my porter cable to a griots 21. So I...

Sorry for the late update. I haven’t forgot about this project. Cleaning the paint has been harder than I imagined. With tree residue and the residue leaving an outline from the cleaning. Attached is some updates I’ve only been able to do the front at the moment. It’s not perfect but it’s an...

Some teasers for today. I will pull it out this weekend to foam cannon it, and add more shots. Now I’m off to work. Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

I have a dumb question, I’m looking at the RejeX sealant and I see that it’s pretty picky on temperature. The plane is covered in a hangar now, so would it be fine to apply. Or does temps over 85 in general hurt RejeX?

Thank you for your input, I will probably stick with the porter cable route for right now. Reason being it’s all I have and I’m not sure I would be to comfortable using a rotary.

As far as my dad and I are aware it’s the original paint job. We searched thru the log books. You might be thrown off because of the left tank. It was replaced with another tank. The original was damaged. Good eye on the props/Hubs I will send those off for an overhaul and inspection when it...

Hello everyone! This is my project. I’ve been working on this since January of this year. I’ve been busy replacing parts on it and fixing things here and there, with some help. Now it’s time to start working on the cosmetic side of things. I reached out to Mike Phillips and he’s been a...
