Priming - Wing Ribs and attachments 14-3-4
I took advantage of a break in the rain to work on priming the wing ribs and attachments. As with previous priming, I first wiped of any markings on the parts using acetone, however since there are a number of similar parts to be primed here, I also attached labels to each part so that I could easily identify its place in the wing. Wing rib attachments cleaned and tagged for easy identification I labeled the parts by their wing side (Left or Right) and rib position (pictured above, the 1st and 7th rib starting at the inboard end of the right wing) Ribs were labeled similarly R1 to R15, and L1 to L15 I then used EkoEtch to clean and etch the aluminum surface. I did take the labels off the parts for this, but was careful to keep the parts organized. All wing rib attachment parts were etched and left to dry thoroughly prior to priming Wing ribs were etched outside as it was easier to clean them off with a garden hose due to their size Slowly working my way through all 30 ribs, 2 at a time
