Congratulations John! Completing the first subkit is a particularly satisfying milestone and confidence builder. Just a suggestion. Why not go ahead and complete the fiberglass work with each subkit as you go along? Doing so will give you progressively more experience working with fiberglass, whether or not you make all tips removable with screws and nutplates like I did. Then, later on you won't risk getting burned out by having to do so much fiberglass work at one time.As of last night I finished the tail kit on the RV7(A) inculding fairings (except the rudder bottom). Now it's on to the slow build wings. It is nice to get something complete.
