I had the same problem. I called Van's and asked if I could shim the trim
servo up using a .032 aluminium shim between the servo and the bracket. They
recommended that I trim some of the plastic off of the servo. I don't like
that idea. I think I'll try the shims. and possibly squeeze the rivets a bit
too

I've been using Sherwin Williams P60G2 industrial wash primer for most of the
large surfaces. It is a 2 part primer (but not epoxy) and is easy to use. I
believe this is the same thing Van uses on their quick build kits. For touch
up I've been using NAPA 7220 rattle can. It is a self etching primer that
works good.
There are plenty of 40 year old aluminium airplanes around in good condition
that were not primed. On the other hand most of the people building RV's will
be in bad shape in 40 years (I'll be 90). Don't sweat it. Build it fast and
fly it soon. It will outlive you, primed or not primed.
Godspeed

After answering a couple e-mails here lately concerning the wiring issue
with the 7 wing, I thought I would post a picture. For those building the 7
and probably the 8, the tooling holes at the aft portion of the wing ribs
are perfectly lined up. I used a unibit and bore each hole out to 5/8" and
ran this PVC pipe though. I know this is an old hat technique but these
tooling holes get the pipe out of the way of everything, including pitot
lines, aileron pushrod and bellcrank.

Just to add another $0.02 to the discussion ... I got by with just
squeezing the rivets a bit more. On a related note, to get the whole
assembly to go through the hole in the elevator I also had to trim
the aluminum flange from the Z-bracket quite aggressively. It now
trimmed almost as close to the edge of the plastic mounting flange
as I can make it.

> I've tried Aircraft Finish Systems Waterborne primer and zinc chromate in

What's the difference between a/c primer and various hardware store primers,
such as automotive primer?
Geeze, it's been awhile since we've talked about primers so I'll say a few
things.
First, you have to know a fair bit about the primer you commit to it; should
you even decide to use primer. Most primers are useless without a top coat
of paint so what would be the point of doing the inside of your wings with
them?
Second, on the outside areas that will get painted, the various car paints
that I am familiar with require the paint to go on the primer when the
primer is less than 24 hours old.
Third, the paint has to be compatable with the primer. That's two reasons to
not primer any skins on the outsides.
Fourth, good primers cost a fair bit. I use a two part epoxy Coulards
Aerospace Super Korapon (spelling?) that is a water barrier. Very important
that last bit. This primer is compatable with the Sherwin Williams Sunfire
Acrylic Urathane paint that I am using on my interior bits. The down fall is
that I am on my fouth set of pails and have spent $600 on it in the last 6
years. Granted I have done a few other little projects along the way but
good primers increase the cost of a project significantly. I wonder how much
weight I have added. Before I started building, I phoned up the local
inspector (now retired) and asked for advice. The first thing he asked was
do I plan on using primer. When I said yes he turned into a nice guy (west
coast of Canada). He seemed to think aircraft around here without primer
were asking for trouble.
Anyhow, if your rattle cans don't provide a water barrier you may as well
throw them away.

Dear Listers,
I was particularly touched this year by all of the wonderful comments
people made regarding the Lists and how much they mean to them. As I have
said many times before, running these Lists and creating the many new
features is truly a labor of love.
I will be shipping out the third and final shipment of Flight Bags and A&P
Text Books this afternoon. According to the Post Office, maximum delivery
to the most remote of areas is 8 days. I will have no outstanding Gift
requests following this shipment, so if you don't get the Gift(s) you
requested by, say, the 20th of January, please let me know via email.
I would also once again like to thank Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore
( http://www.buildersbooks.com ) who so generously supported this year's
Fund Raiser with both free and substantially discounted merchandise!!
Below you will find the 2002 List of Contributors #2 current as of
12/31/02! Have a look at the list of names there as these are the people
that make all of the services possible! I can't thank you all enough for
your support and great feedback during this year's Fund Raiser!
Once again, THANK YOU for making this year's List Fund Raiser successful!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
