Greetings everyone! I have been a long time lurker on this forum. My father has been a long time builder of an RV-6A slider. He has grown too old to finish the project and has passed it on to me to finish. (Doug, I paid $50.00 dues today. That's $25.00 for long time lurking and $25.00 for this year as I will now begin actively posting and using the forum.) The project is very well along. The sheet metal has to be 95% done. All that I see remaining is the fuse bottom skins and the turtle deck. Both wings, fuselage and all control surfaces appear to be 100%. I have the wings in a cradle in my garage. The fuse is sitting right side up on a piece of soft 1" polystyrene foam on top of a 6' folding plastic table. I have had this thing for a few years now. I have overcome some challenges to my health and it's time now to get building on this thing! I need to find a starting point. I was going to go through the plans and instructions and compare that to my dad's builders log as a sort of inspection process. Could someone help me out by helping me understand if I need to make a build table and get it flipped back over? Or is it past that stage? Also the bulk heads for the turtle deck area are flopping around and I have no clue as to how those get stabilized and match drilled to the turtle deck skin. That is enough embarrassing dumb questions for one day..
