RV-9A #92229 WA
Started talking about my build over the RV-9 area, but figured it would be better to give updates on the build over here.
Just completed our first sub assembly, the vertical stab. We've already prepped all of the internal parts for the HS and the rudder, so diving into assembling them soon. Should have them completed within the next week or so.
It's nice to have a actual stopping point for one evening... LOL

Victor, getting that first piece that actually looks like it might be part of an airplane is pretty cool! Have fun and keep pounding those rivets!

Woo hoo! Congrats Victor. It looks like you did a very nice job. Now you have something you can point at and say "I'm building an airplane...see there's part of it".

Planning on painting eventually anyways. And it sounds like a complete pain to try to trim out the rivet lines. I am leaving the blue on through the whole skin prep though, removing just prior to riveting.

I hope you are removing the blue plastic prior to dimpling and deburring. |
