Priming - Wing Aileron 21-5-6 and Flap 22-5-6
Prior to final assembly of the flaps and ailerons, I went through the usual steps to prime the flap and aileron skins, and other additional control surface parts that were yet to be primed.
This was all straightforward, and I just had to make sure to prime any mating surfaces as well as not prime the trailing edges.
