Priming - Wing Rear Spars 15-5-3

I again took advantage of a break in the rainy weather to prime the rear wing spars. These didn't take too long to prep and prime, I just had to be careful with handling them as they are each about 12 feet long.

Both spars primed and ready to be riveted to the wing ribs once I finish attaching those to the main spars

So far with my experiences working with Stewart Systems EkoPrime in an outdoor setting, I have found the following conditions give the best, most consistent, priming results

• temperature - 64F - 70F
• away from direct sunlight
• calm wind (of course!)
