I still hadn't primed the horizontal and vertical stabilizer skins yet, so I took the opportunity to do so since it was a nice day to prime. I also primed the remaining spars and the spar doubler for the VS since I wasn't able to prime them with the other HS and VS parts the last time. I left most of the vinyl on the skins up to this point so I was able to cover most of the bare metal with frog tape. I used masking paper to cover the larger areas of exposed skin not covered by vinyl.

Preparation in progress. It's pretty easy to tell which parts are untouched and which are ready to prime. |

A few days later, the parts are cured. We have one primed HS skin... |

...and the other skins ready to go. |
