Primed left aileron parts: 4.3 hours

Nothing real exciting today. I got all the aileron parts cleaned and primed.

I spent a lot of time making sure the steel counterweight pipe was cleaned and well coated so as not to have any dissimilar metal corrosion between it and the aluminum skin.

Also next time I prime parts I'm going to try the method of painting the pieces while they are hanging. I believe I can easily use the beam in the garage for this.

 

My one break through of the day was repurposing the wing stand as a counter weight stand for painting.
