Brief Description: Preparing the Aileron Pushrods part 1
Started to prepare the aileron pushrods by cutting the aluminum tubing to length per the plans. Primed the inside of the tubing by shooting the primer in with a rattle can and then slowly swirling it around the inside. I wasn't getting the results I hoped for so I went outside and shot the primer down the tube so I could see the primer cloud coming out the other end. Switched ends and did the same thing until I could see primer coming out the other end. By using the swirling technique the primer wasn't working its way far enough down the tube. Decided to wait on priming the outside of the tube because I thought it would get marred up during drilling, riveting and test fitting. Parker and I marked the ends of the tubes with a piece of paper wrapped around the end that had already been marker for equal rivet spacing. Once the marks were transfered we drilled and clecoed the rod ends the to the pushrod and then secured with blind rivets.
