Hi all,
I am busy prepping the aileron parts. I was trying to decide if the counterweight pipe, which appear to be galvanized steel, ought to be primed. Seems like I have heard the steel and aluminum in contact leads to corrosion. I have thought about priming the inside of the front skin as well as the pipe. Is this overkill?
Also, when riveting the upper skins and spar together, do most people back rivet this or buck?
Regards,
