Some interesting conversations on this forum...
I am seriously looking at purchasing a Hummel H5 in kit form in the new year. Problem right now is the cost of freight and time it takes to get to our part of the world!
I have never been involved in building a metal plane, however am well versed in the use of wood/ply construction. It will be a retirement project for me...
One question I have at this stage is, priming. I would feel comfortable if I primed all parts that come together - rivet lines etc. A hand held spray can would suit this purpose!
I see on Utube videos from the Hummel factory that do not prime at all! In fact not many builder seem to do so...
Of course, if I was to speak to an aircraft engineer i'm sure he/she would throw their hands up in horror at the idea of NOT priming.
Your comments appreciated.
Thanks, Kiwi John
