Brief Description:  Rudder and aileron primer

both the rudder and aileron were pretty much a mess when it comes to how straight they were built. Instead of doing fiberglass surgery that could lead to balance issues I decided to gently finess the curves from being overly uneven. This meant 4 rounds of filler and 4 coats of primer all of which will be mostly sanded off tonight or tomorrow. My goal now is to bring both controls to the BARE minimum in material and when sanded to 220 grit I will spray 2 very thin coats of primer reduced to 15% for the smoothest possible finish. After cure I will wet sand with 3000 grit to match the wing and be done with this endevour. :)

...P.S. spraying anything that is dangling from a string is like chasing a red headed step child around the house when they've got your car keys...
