Fuselage kit arrives 4/12
Got word from FedEx that my 9A fuselage will show up on Monday. Just as a point of reference, this is exactly 10 weeks lead time. I ordered the kit before 2/1 to avoid the yearly price increase. Wings are off the jig and I just need to rivet the trailing edges of the flaps and they are done for now....

I'm right in the middle of doing the tanks on my 9A. This post with pictures has been a HUGE help and inspiration. Yesterday I got the cap, drain and stiffeners riveted in after fay sealing them the day before. The back riveting didn't go so well. It was hard to get the rivets to set straight. I end...

I am definitely sold on the value of AOA, and plan on using the Dynon pitot and EFIS. I think I'll defer on the stall warning for now. Doesn't look like it brings anything additional to the party.captain_john wrote: So Bruce, What are you going to do now? Are you going to install the stall horn or an AOA?

AOA vs. Stall Warning Vane
I'm in the middle of building the wings, so I'm wondering if it is worth putting the stall warning vane in now.
I was planning on putting the Dynon AOA pitot on the wing. What does the stall warning buy you over the AOA data?

I don't keep track of every item, but I do have a general "Airplane" category set up in Quicken, so if I ever want a quick report on costs, I can get it. I'm living the dream after waiting 20 years to start building. It will be cheap compared to getting my 3 kids raised and educated. Would you track...

other builder resources?
When was the last time that the lists of builder web pages was updated? http://rivetbangers.com/BuilderResources.shtml Might be time for a clean up. I would love to have a definitive list of builders web pages, or is this just too crazy given how big the web has become? I too am going to miss Dan's ...

There is a good article about wiring in the EAA Experimenter
http://eaa.org/experimenter/issues/0903.html
from March 2009. Scroll down to the Forum Review.
He makes a convincing case to run ground wires to everything.
