Thanks Vlad. I havent met him but have been talking to him via text. Both of our kits are on there way.
When you coming down this way. I still havent flown in a 9. Hint hint. Take care.

Wings are pretty much complete with the exception of bottom skins and a few minor tasks. SB fuselage is suppose to be here on Friday. Looking forward to something different. [/img]

Thanks Bruce. I refer to your site often.

After 3.5 months I have completed the ailerons and flaps for my 9A. I did wind up with oil canning on one of my ailerons, its just in one section between the ribs. Not sure what to do about this??? Now its time to start on the right wing. Left wing is complete with the exception of riveting bottom s...

Completed ailerons. On to flaps next. I sure hope they are easier than the ailerons.

Thanks guys. Started the ailerons. Going to finish ailerons and flaps and then start the right wing. Havent ordered the fuselage yet. Planning on ordering it either nov or dec. i have to say i have not enjoyed these ailerons. [img http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/gsxphil/AA0C6D0A-8F6E-4F40-8...

Top skins riveted on. Paul and Dave came over and in 2 1/2 hours we were done. I was totally surprised that we did them that quick.

Thanks CJ, someday I hope to join you guys at Oshkosh.

Um. Whoops. Sorry for the double post.

Making slow steady progress. Left Leading edge and Left tank complete. Up next, skins. I have inboard skin dimpled and ready to go, still have to dimple the outboard skin. Hopefully tonight. Possibly riveting skins on Fri and Saturday. http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w440/gsxphil/71A165F5-B9B8-4...

I got my wings on Friday and unfortunately 6 of my wing skins were damaged. The shipping company had knocked the 2x4's that were on the bottom of the crate off sometime in shipping. Then they proceeded to put one of the forks of a fork truck through the side of the box. Thankfully Van's has already ...

I'm planning on being there. RV 9 ride would gladly be accepted. Thanks.

Completed HS, Elevators / Trim Tab. Bring on the wings.

I will look for you Mike. Are you flying your RV down there?

Making steady progress on the build. Wings are ordered and scheduled to crate on the 18th of April. Attached is a link to Photobucket. Hope it works. All I have left to do is attaching the fiberglass tips and mount the Trim Servo in left elevator, I think that's it. Ready to take a break from buildi...

thanks Bruce,
