One of the problems we came to realize during our Eagle's Nest build was the difficulty in finding small parts. Our initial storage system had been a little haphazard, using a combination of methods. Bins would migrate among the builders, and things became difficult to find. Also, as sub-kits were added, we might end up with two bins for the same part number. Finding an empty bin, we might think we were out, when in fact other parts were available. Clearly, our problems were more than a single builder might experience.
We put many hours (actually weeks) of work and study into this problem, and believe we have an answer. It involves five compartmented boxes (Thanks Flambeau Mfg. for your help) and a labeling system that should take us from the emp kit through avionics.
Eagle's Nest Two will be the test bed here. They will start with this system. We have decided to see if there is interest in making the system available to the general RV-12 building public. It will be around $90 (not finalized as yet) and will contain all the labels, boxes, and instructions. It would be marketed through a respected RV tool supplier.
First, does this sound like something you would purchase? And secondly, we would like one other tester out there, someone who is just starting (or will soon start) an RV-12 build. Comments and corrections would be your only cost, just like any beta tester. Let me know of your interest.
