I second the Zolatone.  Use a cheap HVLP gun from Harbor Freight.

 

I would suggest you mount your external transponder antenna.  I was told that too, and insisted on mounting an AAE internal antenna anyway.  A year later I mounted the blade on the bottom of the belly.  Numerous reports of lost transponder from ATC.  Easier to do now.  I also ended up mounting an external comm antenna after the fact too.

Chris,

Try Zolatone for your interior painting, http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/zolatonepaint.php?clickkey=9130.  It doesn’t come in spray cans but it’s great stuff.

Nothing is foolproof to the sufficiently talented fool.

Three questions about finishing the cockpit...

  1. Can anyone recommend a fire extinguisher and location to mount it? 

  2. I’ve rolled WLS epoxy primer on the inside of the canopy frame.  I’d like to spray matt speckled or textured paint so the imperfections aren’t so obvious.  Any recommendations, preferably in spray can?

  3. I mounted a Bob Archer XPDR antenna on the fuselage side behind the hat rack.  The XPDR is a Garmin 327.  Can anyone confirm they’re getting good performance with this antenna location?  I’m close enough to Houston HOU and IAH and plan to fly in Class B airspace so I can’t get away with an intermittent signal.   I have an old stubby antenna that I could easily mount under the stub wing on the opposite side to the pitot head, but no point in moving it unless I have to (though it’s an easier job now than a few hours into the flight test program).

Thanks in advance...

 

Regards, Chris.
