About four ounces of Akzo primer was left over from yesterday’s marathon priming session and was placed in the
freezer to slow down the curing process. There was just not enough time left
yesterday to finish up the priming of all the miscellaneous wing components so
finished that up early today.
Used the Harbor Freight airbrush that gave me
some trouble the first time I used it, but happy to report this time it worked great throughout
almost three hours of priming. There were still plenty of small parts that needed
priming … all twenty four ribs for the flaperons, the rib clips that were factory
installed onto the wing main spar and a hand full of miscellaneous small parts.
The airbrush did a great job of priming all the small parts … took a little
time because of the small spray pattern but have to say, overall it worked
great! As a result, with the exception of the flaperon spars and the wing
skins, all the parts for both wings are primed and ready for assembly of the
wing skeleton. The good news is everything was primed and dried before the temperatures
began plummeting.
Primed RV-12 wing parts everywhere at DOG
Aviation … ready for assembly.
