Painting Wing Fittings

I've been grit blasting and painting all the fittings for attaching the wings, struts, etc. This is about half of them. After painting with Zinc Chromate primer and Black Enamel I load them in my oven and bake them. The four 100 watt bulbs get it to 225 - 250 degrees F which cooks them nicely in about 2 hours.

This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.
