Hi,
I want to know how much time did you spend painting your RV?.
I sent my almost ready to fly RV-8 to paint shop on May 25th 2009, I dissasemble the aircraft myself and Painter told me he would start painting on June 12th. I gave the guy half the money on advance and he said my plane would be ready on July 12th, but 3 month later he just finish painting the empanege, wheel pants, and he said maybe the wings would be ready by the weekend. he said next week he would start with fuselage (cowling is already paint in base color) and also said that probably the fuselage would be ready by the end of month, of course I donĀ“t beleave him.
So guys please tell me if this time is normal or I am just in a harry to get my plane ready and get it on the air![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Also I have to say quality is excellent but is so slow![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
