Primer Time

I have recently discovered how the egyptions built those pyramids and it really works. I had 4 people + me scuffing, deburring, and cleaning the wing ribs. I think we got all of them done in under 2 hours. After they dried a bit in direct 90 degree sunlight. I blindly primed all these ribs. I was able to get everything primed with just shy of 2 1/2 cans of primer. Which was good as I was running on empty on the last rib. Tomorrow I am going to call SEM and see how to become a dealer so I can get this stuff cheaper. I buy it buy the case 2 or 3 at a time and no one will offer price breaks. I also ordered the SafeAir1 kit from Avery today as well as some other bits and pieces. Those should be here in 2 days.

 

im pretty tired and i forget what these are called, but here it is.

 

all the ribs mounted on the spars ready to rivet.

i also drilled out the pitot holes to 3/8″ of an inch. The plans call for 7/16 but the SafeAir1 kit uses smaller snap bushings. I also had to add a 2nd hole for the AOA line. I just measured 1″ x 1″ off the edge. I*HOPE* this does not cause an interference issue in the future.

Tomorrow I am going to try to locate some 3/4″ innerduct for the cable run. If I cannot find any I will see if I can use the 1″ that I have laying around.
