Dan: Re choice of primers. Finally a question I can answer! I went w/ one

of Van's recommendations, the Sherwin Williams Industrial Wash Primer, and am

satisfied w/ it. I work the parts over well w/ Scotch Brite pads, wash them

down w/ MEK, and spray two coats of the primer. It dries quickly, looks ok,

and seems to hold up just fine. I bought a junker spray gun fm Home Depot and

taught myself how to use it. My first attempts at spraying empennage parts

weren't too pretty, but hey, only the bugs are ever going to see it. The wings

were much better, and the fuselage parts look great. Be sure to get yourself a

first class respirator (I have a 3-M), change the filters often, use

chemical resistant gloves, and have plenty of fresh air w/ flow thru ventilation (I

use two box fans) for both the cleaning w/ MEK and the spraying w/ the primer;

MEK and primers will do nasty things to your body.

Good luck & good building,

Dan Bergeron

Dan, you are asking one of two or three questions that are guarranteed to

spark debate and not likely to find much concensus. Nosewheel vs. tailwheel

is another. All that notwithstanding, here are the materials and technique

I've adopted and used for construction of two RV airframes now...
