6/7/2005 Painted VS.   6/19/2005 Today I etched, alodined and primed the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. 3.0
6/20/2005 Today I painted the horizontal stabilizer and elevator. It turned out terrible. Somehow there were specks of oil on the primer which I did not notice until the paint started to separate from them. I need to let it all dry, sand it off and try again.   6/21/2005 Tonight I sanded the red on the horizontal stabilizer. My guess on the oil is that it was spewed on when I used my pneumatic drill to clean out two holes. 1.8
6/22/2005 I spent this evening sanding red paint on the horizontal stabilizer and one elevator. 2.2 6/23/2005 I washed everything with a mild detergent to remove any chance of there being any oil. I  then dried everything with compressed air. 3.0
