I can't help you fix your problem, but I can tell you how to prevent it from happening again... Seriously, congratulations. Soon (but not soon enough), you'll have rivet buckers sized for those difficult areas, like the tail cone.

Your budget problems won't really begin until the child starts playing every sport, going to school, wanting the latest clothes, etc, etc. They're relatively cheap for the first couple of years.

Default Piece of cake

Greg,

Congrats!

Most people give us strange and dirty looks when our family goes somewhere, because I have 5 and one more on the way!

Wouldn't trade any one of them for a pile of gold. It's what life is about.

I will get my RV done one way or another....and then take them on individual special trips.

Enjoy.

Like others have said...you timed it perfect having all the expensive stuff paid for first as well as a lot of build time invested. You won't want to part with all that much free time for a while once that kid gets here. I started my Empenage right about the time my first was born. She is 9 now and has two younger siblings and I'm in the same place on my build as you right now!

Congratulations Greg!
You'll have to get the 9A finished up now. Soon you'll have orders to start the 10, once she figures out how slow that 172 really is.
