Hi Gang,
herbeby i would like to inform the world outside that i finished my rv7 SB-wings yesterday (except tips). they are so beautiful that for one hour i wasn't able to get my eyes from them and i got the grin already.
. i needed five months for the wings and two months for the tail; ca. 500 hours wings / 200 hours tail)
what i learned so far:
- i shouldn't complicate things more than necessary, it's all confusing enough
- in general: replace watching TV by RV-Building
- when i'm getting tired in the shop it's better to watch TV
- do progess in the shop every day when you are around
- if i had to do the wings again i would definitively give evans a call to build the tanks for me. some guys say tanks are not a drama but for me they were. TANKS SUCK!
- during building i got a small metal chip in my eyehole, felt pain, was scared and went to the hospital-ER sunday evening. paid 1088 US$ for removing the metal chip within three minutes; for the future i will tape or rivet my saftey googles onto my head as soon i enter the shop.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
- to build a RV was the most cool, stupid and fun idea i ever had. it's a big task but it was nothing superhuman so far.
btw: can i re-use AN-Bolts? i wasn't able to get any info about that.
