Quick Build Wings Primed?

Post by Thomas »

It looks like the quick build wing ribs etc. are not primed. Is this an issue or a reason NOT to go with the QB wing?

Thanks,

Tom

My understanding was that all QB's are primed. Van's uses a primer
that is without pigment so its hard to visually discern the primer.

The QB's from Van's come primed using Sherwin Williams P60 G2. Its durability is somewhere between epoxy primer and spray-can primer.
