I always use a swivel set, with the rubber boot around it. Works great.

I'm still around, just took a break from building for a little bit. I purchased this old girl:
And I haven't had much time to work on the build. I've bene spending a lot of free time at the hangar cleaning, fixing, and playing around with the avionics on the Cardinal 177RG.
But, I am planning to get back to work on the RV-7 in a couple of weeks.

Very cool Lynn! Reminds me of the 172RG I used to train in. I loved flying that plane... Made me feel like a real pilot with constant speed and retracts. Congrats on the purchase.

Same here. I have a straight set but it does have a rubber ring around it. It is the only one I have so nothing to compare it to.

Decent! That is '80's talk for really good.
So I need a math guy out here Carne. I have a few angles I have to calculate to figure out why things are the way they are.
It appears there are a few of the hypotenuses'ess that are not equa-parallel.
You know math stuff like you do...

On to installing a bunch of little things on the fuse. First take: it's fun. Second: it's a lot harder to reach things now but I refuse to build a rotisserie. haha
Time for some leveling.

Some firewall gusset action. Watch that edge distance, easy to get it on these guys.

Seat belt anchors. Van's breaks edge distance here so that the washer and nut can sit flat on the longerons.

After doing the elevator bellcrank it was time from some priming and painting.
