DH Venom rebuild

Had a good day on the venom! Managed to get all the repairs glassed,the cracks on the fuzz repaired and filled.
Tomorrow looks a better day so will get her outside and give the airframe a good rub down and a coat of primer.The plan is to re - maiden her in primer to see how she fly's before comitting to a full respray and it will be easier to make any changes.
I for one think she will be a different model to fly after making the changes that were needed.

One week Pete! :woohoo: If the hardware is still installed, a possible re-maiden next weekend? Weather permitting)

Before

After

Hard to believe how much difference a week can make

Good to see her back together.

On a major rebuild such as this all the gear was removed Phil!!

Really pleased with the outcome. Got a few minor scratches to fill with stopper and the rebuild is done. I'm going to have a few days away from the venom as it has been pretty full on the past week and spend a bit of time with the other lady in my life
Might even treat her to lunch at the burger van on Portsdown hill

My goodness Pete. Can't thank you enough. Fantastic to see her back together again. She'll be beating up the strip again in no time. You'll definitely need to have a go!

Not sure that's the best choice of phrase Dave after it left a divot last time out!

Yes.... you're right. Not the best choice of words....
