Brief Description:  Prime and assemble the VS skeleton

I finished priming the VS skeleton in the garage. Even though I carefully scuffed the ribs with scotchbrite and wiped them down with cleaner, the primer still bubbled in some areas. I do not know why it does that. I had to go back, scuff the bubbled areas and respray. I feel certain that I will use a different primer for the wings. I will probably spray it on myself with a paint gun. I saw a HVLP conversion gun at Home Depot for only $79 but I have no idea if it is any good or not.I also riveted the VS rear spar together and the ribs to the front spar. I had to drive some of the 1/8 in. rivets on the front spar. I then began to cleco the skin on the VS skeleton before I realized that I had not primed the inside of the VS skin and I had not dimpled two of the forward most holes near the leading edge of the VS.
