We finished priming the left wing, including wet sanding between coats. We must be getting better (or just getting lucky) because we didn't have to deal with any runs or drips. We also measured, cut, and drilled a thin aluminum piece that serves to seal the gap between the wing and the flaps. Hours: 10

We retrieved the left wing that was hanging in our shed. The part was wiped with Isopropyl Alcohol to clean any accumulated dirt. We also addressed any loose fabric edges and "glue blobs". We started taping off the ends getting ready for priming. Hours: 5

The right wing was primed with Superflite fabric primer. Two cross coats were applied with sanding in-between the coats. A final sanding and examination on the right wing before we moved it to the shed for storage. Hours: 10
