Welcome to the club! Ordered my empennage on 11/28 and now I'm getting to the end of the kit .. working on the elevators.
I had my first ride in a 7 this past weekend; one of the local builders and VAF members took me up. Oh, what sweet airplane. Did some acro and flew some rolls, steep turns, wingovers. I can't wait till mine is done!

Thank you. I'm just that confident in Vans and the 7 I have not even sat in one. Maybe I can convince someone in EAA732 to give me ride soon.

YUP LEARNING
Ordered New HS404 and HS405 and HS710.. Took too much off the 710
and Edge Distance would not work. So I started the Vertical Stab. Much easier. Now I have a sick dog taking all my attention.

HEEEEEELP NO Bueno ?
So... After spending the better part of the night setting the ribs to the front spar on the Vert Stab , rather difficult, I did a stupid thing. Messed up one rivet on VS 706 and drilled it out. Kept getting worse.. Finally I decided to drill to set 5 rivet. well.... I dont have any of those.. Should've thought of that before I drilled.. So.. I measured edge distance redrilled for #30 and set it. Im now left with this. Is this no good or a pass ?
