I've been flying in primer for quite a few years.- One less worry about m
essing up the paint when the seemingly never ending work/mods happen.- St
ill only have 25 hours on the plane- trying to find the time and money to g
et back out to Phoenix to continue the rest of the hours

Hi Mike,
-
We decided not to fly until painted-for the following reasons;
1) the color must be white to keep from getting too hot.- One plane we kn
ow of had light grey primer on a control surface that warped in the sun.
2) even with white primer, the primer is usually more porous than paint, an
d may get impregnated with engine oils, bug juice, etc, that may cause prob
lems later on when you do paint.

just my two cents worth,

Good day all,

I just came from my Flight Physical and since I have a real old flying doct
or, we chatted over my build. When I brought up having to find someone to p
aint my bird or go out and learn to do it myself...and buy the equipment...
.he stated that he and friends that have built 6 planes over the past 10 ye
ars....from Long EZ's to RV's....that they never painted their planes until
after they flew off their 40 hours of test flying! This came as a surprise
to me.....how about to you folks? Pros and Cons would be a big help in the
upcoming discussion.
