Posted for "Jim Nordin" <panelmaker@earthlink.net>:

 A friend has a just completed the structure of a 320. Has flown off the
 hours. Has used roll-on primer all over. Now has the need to fill and sand.
 I know . that's not the correct sequence. Nevertheless, he has a partially
 primed airframe, still has a lot of holes / pinholes that need
 filled/sanded, still has lots of areas that need to be leveled, built up,
 filled in and the list goes on. The underside is in pretty good - ready to
 prime - condition so that's not to be considered. It's in a condition of
 built but needs filled and sanded except for the bottom. See the picture
 above to get a feel for its condition. The tail has not been filled/sanded
 either.


 Can someone give me an idea of the time (hours) needed to get it into "ready
 to prime" condition? I know you don't know the specifics, but a WAG would
 suffice.
