To complete the wiring to the instrument panel, the tail cone needs to be installed so the electric trim motor wires can be run through the fuselage up to the panel … but I’ve been dragging my feet on that knowing there has been a modification in the works for the tail cone at Van’s. That modification was just released earlier in the week and was immediately ordered by the DOG Aviation procurement department. That modification, which will be discussed in the coming days, consists of a stiffener rib that will be installed in the tail cone … of course, the rib also needs to be primed.
All roads lead to primer. That being the case, headed up to the hangar and retrieved most all of the parts that need primed except fuel tank components. Figure it’s time to deburr and prep a bunch of parts for primer to make the hassle of cleaning the HVLP spray gun worthwhile. Looks like the next few days will consist of deburring and preparing parts for a primer session later next week after the monsoons end.
