The wings can be the last thing you install.
Thanks, good point. They went on and back off again- I agree, a couple of days with them installed convinced me quickly. Have been in storage for way too derned long, in fact. A commentary on my slow progress...

Default Me too, Plz

Lars,

I loved reading about your roll-round stand/cart for the building of the fuselage...

I'd Love to build one too, since I have two months + delay in getting my fuselage from VAN, RV7, I can build one of these carts.

If you'd be so kind and email me a copy of your plans, I'd really appreciate it.... send to: runnerross@yahoo.com

Best,
Walker

Default plans sent

Hello all...

Those of you who have requested plans so far should check your email. Just sent off a batch.

I was going to caution those builders not in the US about the antiquated units in which the plans are drawn, but then I realized that if you are building an RV, you have already learned to live with them

Hi Lars,

You're right, this conversion software is always open somewhere on my desktop. VERY useful. Even more when converting combined units, like pounds per square inch to mbar, or in-ft to Nm
