Priming of Vertical Stabilizer, Rudder, Anti-servo Trim Components Completed

It was 55 degrees today and tonight it will be 5 degrees. Was able to complete deburring of the components and primed the mating surfaces with Sherwin Williams P60-G2 wash primer. Lots of nasty fumes from the primer but luckily I was able to leave the garage door open today. Have not been able to spend a lot of time with the kit during the past week due to commitments. On Saturday, I spent about 3 hours deburring, and, today (Sunday) I primed the parts. Assembly of the vertical stabilizer, rudder, anti-servo trim tabs starts on Monday. The back-ordered part for the vertical stabilizer should also arrive on Monday. Thus, will probably start with the rudder.

Time - 4 hours
