Default Isn't it funny....
Isn't it funny how exciting it is to unbox a new Rv kit and inventory it. It felt like being a kid at Christmas today with my fuselage delivery😋

RV-8 QB kits: I've been waiting for that thrill for eight months now. In four days I will be into my ninth month. They've been in Oregon since January 4. Waiting for trucking. The. Anticipation. Is. Killing. Me. Can't sleep. Sick of the practice projects. It feels like a bad dream. Why am I telling you? Gotta tell someone. See the tagline of my signature. Thanks for listening (reading).

I agree. No matter how many times I've done it, the excitement of seeing all of those brand new shiny parts IS exciting. Don't even begin to think about all of the work ahead-----once the inventory is finished just start working, in the proper order, completing finishing each step as much as practical, and pretty soon you have an airplane!

And what's really cool is all of the new friends you will make along the way.

Default Love un-boxing..
..hate inventorying. However, you're right that receiving a new kit is like Christmas morning to many builders; myself included.

I didn't mind the unboxing but the inventory.....I hated it. Often times, I would just get impatient and halfway just called it good.

It all turned out to be OK.

Martin, if you need any help with inventory just let me know; I'm less than an hour away. My wings and fuselage came in smaller boxes than yours will, but I'd still be happy to help!

Heck, I enjoyed it so much that I insisted that some nearby builders let me inventory, label and box their hardware for them. Fun.

But I have to admit, that did get it out of my system for a while.
