I searched the archives and was not able to get a satisfactory amount of information from the annals. I am truly l open to your opinions, knowing full well there are many.
As a reformed RC plane builder, I strove to build all my planes with the idea of NOT having to bolt on weights to achieve the correct CG. This has got me thinking as I progress through the Tail of my 7.
Knowing that any extra weight in the tail is far more costly than weight in the nose and that the 7 can come out tail heavy anyway, I have been having an argument with myself over my priming choice.
I primed the inside of the HS and VS skins already, but as I am now onto the rudder and contemplating its' location relative to the CG, I am asking....if you were me, would you prime the inside of the rudder beyond what I have done here?
Rudder Log Entry
My choice to prime had much to do with my close proximity to the Great Salt Lake and the associated WX.
I have had good luck with the Duplicolor Self Etching from a rattle can.
I still intend to scuff and prime where parts interface, but what about the field of the skins?
