While I wait for the poly on the legs to dry, I cleaned up the cabinet and playfield...I'm now in love with Novus #1 and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers! They did wonders...check out the before/after pictures of the cabinet! Sorry, I don't have a decent Before photo for the playfield and sides. Once I get the game back together, I'll be doing the same process for the backbox of the machine. Still on the fence about touching up the paint on the playfield, I experimented a little and not only is it very hard to match the color exactly, when I put a little on the playfield, it just isn't working out. I don't want to ruin it so I might leave it as is for now.
Hi, I'm Kyle, and I'm an avionics troop in the US Air Force. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been into aviation and always loved flying. I always wanted to get my pilots license but it was something I could never afford. In 2009, I got my first "real" flight lesson, in an RV-4. It was one of the best times of my life and ever since then, I took as many flight lessons as I could and started working towards my private pilot license and many other ratings on top of that. I've always dreamed of building my own airplane and now that dream is starting to become a reality. This blog is all about my adventure on building an RV-7 aircraft from design to completion and beyond.
