Finished dimpling/deburring the HS. Not without a couple of glitches (Cframe == evil), but that section’s done. time to prime the primable parts.
Or maybe not.
It looks to me like priming is a huge pain in the ass, and I don’t really have the talent or the facilities for it, except in the most makeshift way. I don’t want to spend any longer on it than I have to, but I definitely want to break out the flea-market HVLP gun and see what I can do. So my plan is this: do the VS assembly/drilling/deburring/prepping, then prime the HS and VS at the same time. I’m not going to prime the skins. All I really care about is priming the vulnerable stuff, like the reinforcing angles and maybe the VS doubler. I’m not terribly worried about where I drilled the holes for the skin rivets because a rivet is going to seal up that metal better any any coat of paint.
So that’s what I did today: edge-prepped the VS spars and ribs.
I know this is building out of sequence, but unless the work takes more time than the prep and cleanup, it offends my sense of efficiency. As it is, shooting paint will be the least part of it, but I want to spend as little time doing it as possible.
