I obviously did a lot more with my blog than was strictly necessary even if I did decide to go the E-AB route, but as said above: it depends on what you're trying to do with it. Blogger is free and relatively easy to use whether you're doing bare bones evidence gathering or, as I was doing, sharing the experience with friends/relatives. The beauty of the blog is you can continue with it once you're done with the plane and flying it to interesting places.

Good Idea!
 

I always recommend a good builder's log, even if you intend to go E-LSA.
There's a real chance that somewhere, during the build, that you will decide that you want to make a small mod that would is much easier to make now than later. There are absolutely no negatives to having a good builder's log.

Exactly my sentiment.....

Thanks
 

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I like the "blogger" method and sign off plans w/pictures approach. I have far flung family....and desire to share this "adventure" with all!

Looking forward to interaction with you all....I've been a lurker for several years. The -12 has finially made it to the top of the bucket list.

Oh, besides initialing steps and signing/dating each page of the plans as completed, plus taking pictures, I did keep a very simple excel sheet for the hours I worked (and costs). I coded them by the sub-kit ( e.g. Wings, Fuselage - but not down to the page level!) On an RV-12, there is no more comprehensive and detailed list of activities and tasks than the plans themselves.

I also kept a Facebook album for friends. Not detailed, just comments on each pic showing typical tasks and progress.

Blogs like Marty's and Dave's were HUGE factors in my initial decision to build a -12 so my hat is off to them and others that make such very useful blogs for us. But that wasn't something I wanted to also do.
