Thanks Ken, I may do that next time. I like to paint or cover all exposed pieces. My trailing edge will be painted the base color as will the exposed clevises. I know you cant' see them from the ground but it just makes it look finished. You might get away with covering your flap pockets but I dont' think you can cover the aileron pockets. I guess it's a matter of taste on the builders part.

I just came up from the basement to check in while the dope is drying on the horz. stab. . I will have fotos of the recover tonight.
