The nutplate still went on fine, but did not align perfectly with the pre-drilled holes in the Vans cover piece.\u00a0 In the long term this is not a big issue, especially since this area will be covered by wing walk material anyway.\u00a0 However, it was aggravating not to have paid close enough attention to the plans.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Fastener holes for the flaps and ailerons are filled with ear plugs or electrical tape to prevent covering with primer or paint.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>After initial prime and paint a few runs and poor coverage were discovered.\u00a0 As a result the wings were wet sanded with 600 grit, then repainted.\u00a0 The final results were very good.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>The original quality of the HS tip bulkhead paint did not meet expectations.\u00a0 So while there was extra paint available from repeat covering the wings, I decided to redo the ends.\u00a0 Here the ends are shown sanded and ready for another coat of primer and paint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
