I think you will find this supplement to Vans instructions a great help with the non-pre-punched kits -

IIRC, Frank is (was, retired?) a technical writer for Intel - it shows in the documents.

I bought it!
Eighteen hours of driving, two hours of snow removal, and three hours of loading (and some money) earned me the privilege of being an RV-6 builder. Unfortunately, I got caught up in getting things done and the camera stayed in the bag. On the bright side, the workmanship on the one wing completed and the tail looks great and the project was well organized. I have the kit in storage at my dad's shop until I graduate college on May 7th. Then I need to move to Olathe Kansas and find a house with a garage! In the mean time I still need to find a ride in an RV-6. I might be getting ahead of myself by becoming a builder without ever flying in an RV, but 7000+ people can't be wrong! If anyone has an rv-6 in a couple hour radius of Longview, Texas let me know.

Welcome to Olathe
Sounds like you bought the same type of kit I bought years ago . Franks Justice's instructions are really helpful.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a house with a garage here in Olathe, finding a hangar will be the challenge.
We also have two great places for any fittings, aluminum, hardware, etc you might need: B&B in Gardner, KS and AirpartsInc in Merriam, KS. EAA 868 in Olathe has a lot of active builders.
Good luck and welcome to Kansas.

Glad to see you bought it. I did about the same a few years back, had a great time building it. I will get to Longview in the next few months, I have a very dear cousin that lives there I need to visit. Send me your tel. # and I will call you, maybe get you a ride in mine.

For those, like me, who are using this thread for educational purposes, one of the links from Joe in the first page has apparently been changed. It is now:
