Default More Fiberglass WorK!!!

I thought I was pretty much done with glass work when the Cozy was moved to the airport,,,,,,,,,,WRONG! Last Sunday the last two sub-kits for my RV-10 arrived and when I opened the crates,,,,,,look what I found!!! Lots,,,,and I do mean LOTS of fiberglass work to do! And whats up with the pink resin ?????!! I will say one thing though, the cry babies who complain about the "poor" quality and fit of Vans fiberglass parts have never built parts from scratch. These parts are NICE and require only minor fitting and finishing. There's even some carbon fiber in that pink. I'm back in familiar territory!

Dave, those parts must have been pulled from female molds, thus the pink. Next time you get some pre-fab glass parts, have them delivered by MALE, they will be of normal color
