So far in the build there hasn't been a better feeling then LEAK FREE TANKS! I suppose maybe the first engine start or first flight *might* beat it I am glad I could help out!

the tanks are nothing, wait until you do the canopy

My finish kit arrived and was delivered by fedx, in fact all my stuff has come fedx and they are great, the driver was so careful and there was not a scratch on the box anywhere. They did a great job.

AH! finish kit arrives by noon tomorrow.

Here you kill, kill, bang, bang, TIME

Yup, that's what I'm interested in. Keep it simple. Also I want nice seats, I'll apply the money saved on gadgets and put them into comfort. Lets see here, stereo, leather seats, mufflers.

You can't just look out the window and see where the flaps are? is this just another gadget thing.

CJ,
I'm going to do the same. By the way the left over pieces that where cut when we did the wing walk doubler is perfect for the extra for doing the floor.

Does this one count for a first flight. http://home.comcast.net/~steveallbee/boatride.JPG then again for looks, I thought this one gives an appearance of flying http://home.comcast.net/~steveallbee/fusestand.JPG the big thing now is all the systems that I need to put in, I'm installing all wiring to...

I did the RV7A ride last year the day before the van's fly in, I have to say that is one nice airplane. I loved the fact that you can put 20percent flaps on and slow down to 65kts, it flew just like my fox, way cool. I ordered the wing kit right after that. Now I just put in the order for the finish...

Tell the guy to put the gas in and fly the phase one off. When he's done then start the training. I'm sure the guy would have fun flying off the time. Of course you can always offer to pay the gas to.

It's ok to do training in your experimental.

I think you have more flying experience than most. I fly every day and in a kitfox. When it comes time I'll just get in the set and go out to the runway, have the posted speeds copied on the dash and firewall the throttle and smile away. If I did go for transision training it will be for the advance...

One area to watch out for is the front of the longerons and the firewall, don't drill any holes until the firewall is in place, yours looks like it might need to go back some more, I had a problem with the very tail section and with the bars that go into the longeron, once I had all holes filled in ...

It's hard to believe that I started this project in August, now I'm thinking, how do I afford the engine. Really kool. I'm looking forward to my first cross country in the 7.

this where I'm at,



this set up seems to be working for me.

Ok, now you've done it, you put some negative thoughts on my brain with the 10000 rivits that I have put in so far. Hummmmmm... I guess I'll just have to get some positive things into my brain, going flying, see ya.

O come on, I think his work looks very good. I went and missed the back plate when I did one of the stiffners. Ouch!. The only comment I have is on the blue stuff. Might as well take that stuff off, after all if you are going to paint, the whole plane gets sanded down before you can paint anything, ...

Let's try that again.

Ahhh! you mean one of these

Proseal isn't bad, I treat it just like silicon. I use bare hands, I get it on my hands, I don't clean the cleko's(but I only use enough to do one rib at a time), to clean up I use mineral spirits for my hands and MEK for the project. Here is a tip for you, have a cup of water and dip your fingers i...
