(8-5 step 8):  Ok, here's a better shot of the before & after of the surface prep.  The roloc discs definitely 'roughen' up the surface.  Sanding by hand you could still see a reflection in the surface... not now.  Plus, I found sanding by hand it was a little bit more difficult to maintain an even pressure, and I would occasionally wear through the alclad layer.  Didn't really have a problem with the roloc disc method.

(8-7 step 5):  Angela decided she had been away for too long so she decided to jump back in and finish up the cradles that we'll be needing to assemble the horizontal stabilizer.  There are 4 of these and the horizontal stabilizer will sit nose down in these.  Here she's attaching a piece of angle that will be used to screw these to our work tables.

(8-2 step 4):  Now I'm finishing up the last part before priming... the HS-1003 rear spar.  The inside radius bends require a bit of a light touch in order to retain the alclad layer so I did these by hand.  Next step... clean 'em, and prime 'em!
