I cut three pieces of 3/4" X a 1 1/2" wood about 18" long each and used them as legs to stand the wings on. Two were screwed to the wing attach fittings and one was screwed to a piece of angle aluminum that was attached to my nav light mounting surface on the wing tip. They were centered so I could turn the wing over and sit it on the legs in either direction.
I painted one side, then turned the wing over when it dried enough so it wouldn't run, but was still tacky. I went around for three coats and couldn't see any kind of seam from one side to the other. I sprayed the leading edge when I did each side so I essentially had six coats on it for better protection. I also used a rope over a rafter in my garage so I could lift the leading edge then pick up the root and flip it without any help. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "JIM VANCE" <va...@claflinwildcats.com> Reply-To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 05:15:24 -0600 >I've got primer on everything but the wings.
