Belly Pan Cover - 0.5 hours (349 Total)

One of the other things I did today was prep the Belly Pan Cover. This plastic piece covers the elevator push pull rod that protrudes from the bottom of the plane.

The Pan come rough cut from Rans and needs to be trimmed to the proper size. This is similar to the plastic ribs that are used in the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. I used my dremel tool to cut and smooth the pan into the proper shape. I also roughed up the inside so I can paint it. I use a can of spray paint to paint the inside of the pan prior to installing it into the plane.
