Thanks Leo.
I'll see you on March 19. My brother Ed will be coming with me - he is the flier (so far).
Looking forward to meet you and chat on your experiences to date.
Joe

Hey Joe,

I am using the spray can variety and the smell hasnt been to noxious. I have rigged up an air exchange to some extent and it seems to be evacuating the worst of the smell.

Next up wing and fuel systems which I too will be picking up in Mexico on March 19....

Hi Leo,
One month till I pick up my 701 kit. I'm really excited about getting to hold those parts in my own hands as you are doing. What really caught my eye is your green zinc chromate? The one thing I very much want to do is as you have - paint the entire inside surface of the plane not just the mating surfaces. It looks like you've sprayed it on. May I ask if it was a hassle and how you deal with the noxious (or toxic) fumes? Also, did you use a spray gun or spray cans (procured from...?)
Thanks in advance,
Best,
Joe

Hey, that shop in the background looks a little familiar. I'd almost swear that was a CH-701 H-Stab in the background ;)
