> I primed that backside of the rear spar brackets & plates with rattle can primer from NAPA autoparts. Breaking out the 2 part primer and spray gun just isn't worth the effort. Beside, the final assembly itself will have a coat of primer as well. That's my 2 cents! FWIW I paid $7.32 for the rattle can primer. This is not a low cost alternative for major priming efforts.

> I drilled the holds that attach the main ribs to the forward and rear spars.

> I used to die grinders to do most of the deburring on the wing ribs. One die grinder has a Scotch Brite wheel in it while the other has a homemade Scotch Brite pad. What I do is take a sandpaper drum, wrap a folded over Scotch Brite pad around it, and use a zip tie to keep it in place. It usually last for 2 to 3 ribs before I need to put a new one on. PS: Don't forget to wear safety goggles.
