Ain’t that the truth Mark M, just finished sanding and buffing my DG200-17C all over, about 50 hours to get the original Schaballac gelcoat back to looking new,
not bad for a glider made in 1980 to still have original gel in perfect condition.

Stop painting and deal with installing an ADS-B Out system. The change will make sanding seem pleasurable. :-)

Installed one two weeks ago in a MinLak FES it was a lot easier than sanding.

What Richard said.Â* I installed ADS-B in my Stemme and the hardest part
was removing and replacing all the stuff necessary to get to a flat spot
to mount the hardware.Â* The gigantic antenna was easily installed under
the turtle deck using a design shown to me by another Stemme owner.Â* My
IA inspected my work, said it looked "Perfect", gave me a log book
sticker, sent a 337 to the FAA, and handed me a bill for his time.Â* It
was easy work and the price paid the IA was well worth it!
