Brief Description: Primed Parts; Installed AHRS Bracket in Tail Cone
Primed all parts received with the QB Wings and Fuselage with Sherwin Williams wash primer P60G2. Experienced considerable problems with plugging of the spray gun. likely due to the hot 97 deg. weather with high humidity. Could not get the HVLP spray gun to work properly. Purchased a standard syphon paint sprayer from Lowes which worked better, however found it still impossible to get a light, uniform coating. So all parts are coated more heavily than I would like, but will work.
Installed OP-48 AHRS Bracket into the Tail Cone.
Installing the bracket required drilling out 9 rivets in the bottom skin, in order to attach the VA-206B support rib. Wish I had known this before riveting the tail cone bottom skin!
