Good luck! I am sure this one will be just as nice.
|
Looking at those pictures, I would be suspect of every single point of prior assembly from the previous builder. Good luck with you project.
|
Actually the rest of the build looks pretty good. There are a few rivets that need to be drilled out. The good news is that the wings are still open and the fuse is a canoe. If this is the only boo-boo then after I get these longerons replaced its off to the race. I will definitely look everything over carefully before it gets installed. This is my second RV-4 build so I have a pretty good idea how things should look.

On my RV-3B, I decided to start with 1 x 1 x 1/8 angles and narrow them down in between wide spots. My VAF blog introduces them in this post.
That's post # 246 in this thread. The subsequent posts don't particularly emphasize this feature - you can get glimpses of it - but it's definitely proving to be a good one. I'm glad I did it this way. I remember that the narrowing took a weekend and left the shop with tiny aluminum needles. I had to make many, many passes with the shop vac to keep things under control.

Good idea Dave

I need to fly up and check it out. Didn't know you were getting another.

You go
