Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

Can you tell which side has had its one pass of C?

[ScottM-Sonex1629]

The panel on the right...which looks like the pilots side?

[Bryan Cotton]

Yes, though I may solo from the right.

Not quite infinity:

I had to spend a lot of time looking at that last double reflection photo to figure out what I was seeing. Fun stuff.

Lots of clecos, soon to have a similar number of rivets, then all rivets:


Saving that for tomorrow and the chief riveter. Scraping labels off the right side parts tonight and refilling the hangar bathroom water supply.

Nice work, making great progress now!

[Bryan Cotton]

Thanks Scott! One more picture as I really like double ended cleco pictures.

Here we are placing rivets:


My trademark cleco-unset rivet shot:


Rivets going home:


Here is the puller I was using on the opposite side. We had two hoses, two pullers.


Adam's confidence is really getting strong. I worry that he may be getting a big head though. Hope it still fits in the Waiex when we are done, without resorting to an open cockpit mod.


Tonight I get to peel the stickers off the right side parts. Boy I love that job.

Wow what are you feeding your kids? Their heads are enormous!

Have your tried lacquer thinner on a rag for removing the labels. Rub some on, let sit for a few seconds and it comes right off, then take same rag with the thinner and rub off the remaining adhesive residue. Quick, easy and stinky!

Use some WD-40 on those parts stickers. Let it soak in a moment. Worked well for me ...

Tonight we riveted the right side:


Then we flipped.
