A little late here, but I had to chime in and offer my congrats as well- looking great! You just keep wiggling that control stick, Bruce- it's very motivational

Myself, I finished the rudder this week, now on to the elevators. Time to order the wing kit??

'swhat I thought. Thanks, Kelly

Can anyone tell me what these trim pieces are for? Rectangular pieces of alclad sheet, looks like 3 ea of 3 different thicknesses. Thanks!

Thanks for all the kind words, fellas. :) Chad, I may just take you up on the offer when things warm up a bit... by then I may need an RV Ride (for morale, ya know!) Bruce- I've lurked on your website more than once, and will definitely keep you posted- after all, I plan on 'stealing' a few of your ...

The 2 well-packed boxes are sitting in my workshop as we speak. I don't have to tell you folks how excited I am... I just thought I'd share :) Wish me luck! http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h40/flycfii/RV7%20project/000_0101.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h40/flycfii/RV7%20project/000_0102.j...

I was wondering how the project was going?

Bruce, this is just one more idea of yours that I'm going to steal when the time comes!

Nice work!

I've been hoping to see these guys grow and prosper, but now it looks like their website is gone! Hopefully I'm premature, but it feels like RIP, Innodyn.

Am I the last to know this?

Congratulations, Bruce! Maybe in 2 years or so, I'll be where you are now, heh-heh. Keep it up!

Sounds like the consensus is that it's worth purchasing. One thing you should know about me- I love good tools. :oops: When I ordered my toolkit from planetools.com, I purchased every upgrade available! Longeron and 4" thin nose yokes for my pneumatic squeezer, pneumatic right-angle drill with bits,...

I recomend useing the edge forming tool BEFORE dimpling your part the tool instructions do not mention this. Mike Balzer[/b] Good information, Mike- makes sense to me! :) I actually had to 'un-dimple' the leading edge holes (where the sheet gets rolled). I dunno if I missed something, but I coulda ...

Great- thanks for kind words and the input, guys. :mrgreen: I'm gathering a list of *additional* tools that weren't included in my Isham package, and now the Edge Former is definitely on it. Spike- you're close to my old neck of the woods- ever hear of a town by the name of Damascus? Grew up there.

Hey gang, I'm new to the rivetbangers forums... thought I'd introduce myself. My workshop is complete, and I'm working on Van's practice kit (the partial control surface). I'm glad I started with the practice kit, as it has really taught me a lot! Better to get my learning on this than the empennage...
