I finally joined the slow build forward and center
fuselage sections. At the overlapped skin joint under
the center spars I applied ~ 120 grams of proseal in a
very thin layer. I was concerned with the possiblity
of water getting trapped between these layers and
damaging the Al.
I'm happy to say it went very smoothly and I had
plenty of time to complete all the rivets. (except ~ 4
where I will have to invent another bucking bar to get
to).
John C gave me the inspiration at the last NW RV-10
meeting and I'm glad I did it. I also plan on
prosealing the tail cone to fuselage joint and wing
walk angles. (as well as firewall)
I've also been priming with E2G973 and for the
fuselage I am also applying a two part epoxy top coat.
Another tip is after you connect the spar's with the
Al spacers you can also install the seat rails
temporarily to insure alignment. I'm still amazed that
everything lines up perfectly considering the
cumulative tolerances...
