Spraying Primer onto the Fuselage

We’re finally slinging paint again. We finished up with the NACA runners to the point that we can paint, so we finshed up masking her off and sprayed primer today.

Also removed the old wheel, moved the tube and tire, shortened the wheel spacers (thanks Jerry) and reinstalled it with the new Nylon nut […]
