Fuselage June 2007 Updates June 03, 2007 Priming & Organizing.... - 4.0 hrs Still trying to get the hangar organized. I mounted the vice to the workbench in the office. I primed the forward subpanel ribs. Jon showed up in his 6A and we headed to Brenham. How can I pass up a flight right. When I got back I continued on with more primeing and then painted the passenger and pilot sticks black to match the canopy frame. I did not want to remove the pilot stick since it is a bitch to get the washers back in place. I used a thin plastic drop cloth to cover the stick down to the base and taped around it. Then I primed and final black. Worked out good. I am going to skip the flap rod as it is covered by in the center and the back is behind the seats.
