Priming - Wing Flap 22-5-6
The next step in flap assembly is riveting parts together. There are a lot of identical parts to the flaps and prior to cleaning and priming them I tagged them with their relative positions from inboard to outboard end of each left and right flap and that worked well. Flap parts tagged and cleaned with acetone Next I went through the usual process of applying EkoEtch to remove the alclad layet, followed by spraying EkoPrime primer. I did this over multiple shorter sessions Nose ribs and hinge brackets drying after being prepared with EkoEtch Nose ribs and hinge brackets curing for a couple of days after priming Trailing ribs and spars after tagging and wiping with acetone Trailing ribs and spars drying after EkoEtch preparation Trailing ribs and spars curing after applying primer Primer used: ~184g + 18g distilled water Time Taken: 8.1 hours Dates: July 15 2024 - July 21 2024 RV-10 Build Total Time: 765 .8 hours Priming Total Time: 91.7
