Brief Description:  Priming and first rivets

Continued priming. Tried brushing - looked pretty ugly. Covered with spray. All ribs and spars complete as well as the V. Fin skin. Need to get the HVLP gun working correctly.

Riveted the rear spar. Not happy with it. Going to try to drill out 1/3 of one side, re-cleco and re-rived.

Used -7 rivets instead of the -6 called out in prints to get adequate 1.5 tail. Completed rivets looked goot - right size. Ordered some replacement -7 rivets for areas where -7 are needed.

Looked at riveting in some of the hinge assemblies. Rivets called out are too short. Ordered -8 for that application.
