Touched up some priming on vertical stabilizer rear spar, horizontal stabilizer and elevator spars and some related parts. One horizontal stabilizer rear spar channel and elevator counterweight bracket to be stripped and reprimed, had a huge paint run which turned into a mess which was impossible to fix. Start again!

Installed 18 M4 rivnuts in vertical stabilizer with Loctite 277 and then cleco’d it together. Waiting for one rib from Sling and for them to return the rivets which I sent off for alodining. Snap bushings for VOR and strobe wires are on order to replace grommets.

Drill setting for future rivnut use: speed 1, torque 17, screw function.
