G'Day All,

=A0

I would like to hear from anyone regarding the Pros an= d Cons of painting before the Test Flying or doing the test flying with the aircraft = in primer.

=A0

What did you do?

=A0

I have always believed that I would paint before test = flying but there are many arguments as to why you could fly in primer only.

=A0

Many Thanks
