I'm just kinda wondering. If you don't reside in coastal state, and

perhaps only have 20-30 years left that getting a medical is probable,

and none of the top 4 GA plane brands/models did any priming, and very

few have suffered significant corrosion over 30-50 year lives, is it

going to really be cost/time effective to bother with priming at all?

 Sounds like good advice for the Rivethead parts too..  That is, just

 leave the 415 off until mounting the feathers on the tailcone..  Leave

 the access panel undrilled and cleco'd in place until then too.

 BTW, UPS just delivered the Rivethead parts.  They look good.  Should

 save some time.

 Bill - plunging ahead with the tailcone and prepping to prime the

 elevators and trim tab parts.

I don't think the holes line up with the Van's 415's with the Rivethead version which, by the way I need to order along with some new access panels due to the hole allignment issue. Anyone using the Van's versions save yourself some grief and wait to final rivet the 415's to the panel until after your final rigging. It's way easier to turn them when they are not attched to the panel, just cleco until they are properly adjusted.

Oh no, not that can of worms again!  I am sure that is fairly well covered

in the archives.  I think the ultimate catch-all answer to that is "to each

his own."



Do not archive.

I guess everyone has to figure out what they want to do. 

First you read the 'Primer War' chronicles in the various archives. 

Then you do a critical self examination - just what kind of person am I?

Then you waffle around for awhile and hope to make a decision.

Here's where I am:

My HS and VS were built and primed in Griffin GA with 2 part epoxy in

zinc chromate green.  Very nice, very compelling

Vans uses Sherwin Williams Industrial Wash Primer - P60-?  Easy to use,

light weight, less than 'mil-spec'

Then there are those 30 year airplanes, hmmmm

I've located some Sherwin Williams P60 and that's what I intend to 

continue with

until I'm convinced otherwise.
