Prime 1/8/2022 – 2.5 hours After a week of very cold and wet weather, I finally got a sunny day that is warm enough (50 degrees minimum) for priming. It was a breezy day, but I managed to find a somewhat sheltered area outside, and timed my priming passes between the gusts. It wasn't the most efficient session since a lot of primer disappeared into the breeze, but the results were pretty good. I put final coats on the ribs, and initial and final coats on the aileron torque tube bracket parts. I've noticed that the spray quality of the rattle cans is not as good as it once was. Nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of the cans don't spray very well. Hopefully that is a temporary manufacturing issue that gets sorted soon!

The inboard ribs (R1 & L1) support the aileron torque tube support bracket assemblies, and two other ribs in each wing (R3/L3 & R8/L 8) support the flap hinge assemblies. I started by riveting the parts for the aileron torque tube support brackets together. I decided to put the manufactured heads of the rivets on the inside (aft) face of the assembly to provide more clearance to rivet the assemblies to the rib webs. The pneumatic squeezer mounted in a bench vise did a nice job with all of the rivets. The pneumatic squeezer did not have good access to rivet the assemblies to the rib, so I switched to the rivet gun with a double offset rivet set. A very long straight set would also work to provide the clearance required for the rivet gun. The flap hinges get sandwiched between the aft end of the wing ribs and a small flap hinge rib. I set the manufactured head of the rivet on the smaller flap hinge rib. The pneumatic squeezer had good access to most of the rivet locations and marginal access to a couple spots in the center of the assembly. Starting with the rivets along the top and bottom edges, and then working in from there helped to keep the clecos out of the way and provided good results. I initially wanted to work from the center out, but the clecos made that approach impractical with the squeezer.
