I'm still a ways from painting the fuselage for the final time but have been working on the the trim/servo system recently.

The trim servo shafts are a tight fit into the reamed out 1/2 inch tubes/bearings. There ain't no way that they could be painted and then installed.

Question: Do you paint these in place and then break the paint line around the tube/bearings? I'm assuming I do. If not... ???
