Fuselage clarification
Really stupid question.
Page 29-03 step one says "Mask off the forward and aft mating surfaces of the U-01402 Lower Gear Braces and prime" Do they want you to prime the mating surfaces or the the entire thing except the mating surfaces? Why do they not want you to prime the entire gear brace? |
I painted all but the mating surface. I assume they want steel on steel for a tight clamping force. The surface on the gear leg is also without powdercoat at that contacting area.
|
Mask usually means to cover so that it doesn't get primed/painted. The mating surfaces are the ones that come in contact with each other.
Translation.... Cover the surfaces that contact each other and then prime/paint the remainder. |
Thank you guys

Now I am confused because the fore and aft surfaces of the 1402 butt against aluminum. It mates with the spar carrythrough and the gear brace brackets.

I think I finally have my head wrapped around this. It is the fore and aft surfaces on the inside of the cutout of the 1402.

Yes, that is correct.
