    Default Wing Tailing Edge

    Do you prime the the inside of the aluminium trailing edge of the wing and if so do you do this before or after you fit the optional stiffeners?

    I can only say what I did, which was to etch and Alodine every aluminum part going on the plane including the trailing edge pieces. I did primer (2k rattle can) the outside of the trailing edges because my fabric system strongly suggested doing so for adhesion.

    No, I only primed the outside. If I was in a humid seacoast environment I would have primed the insides.
