The mornings progress.

The white primer went on nicely.
It looks grayish in the pics but it is white.
I did a few light coats and then one wet coat. I wanted to make sure I did not burry the panel lines.




I could still see most of the lines so I should be good.
I wont sand until tomorrow, want to let this primer set up.
I only hit the ailerons and flaps with one pass, they don't have panel lines so just needs enough to cover.
I did weigh the wing before I put the white primer on, 5lb-13-1/2 oz. that is just the wing with the hatches.
So the fuselage is around 13lb and the wing is around 6lb, just need paint on the wing, the canopy, landing gear, wheels and servos in the wing.
Still shooting for 25-26lb.
