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.

Flap skins cleaned, etched and trailing edge taped off, ready to be primed
