You know, some builders have trouble getting motivated, building their RV's.
Last night I decided to leave the heat on in the hangar, (usually have it on a timer to come on an hr or so before I plan to start the next day), lucky for me, as the power went out at eight this morning and was scheduled to be out for the remainder of the day.
Today's task was to cleco the inboard wing skins to the spars and ribs. With the hangar still warm, a ball cap on and a clip on LED light , task completed. I managed to countersink the wing walk areas before the power came back on temporarily as it's to go out in an hr in order to replace the downed transmission line transformer.
I'm finding a big deviation in the plans from the RV-10 with the inboard and outboard wing skin overlap. On the 10, you had to taper the entire lap so the joint would be thinner, (quite a task trying not to overheat and warp the sheet. On the 14, we are to just taper a small 1" triangle on each sheet. That is my next task so I don't know just how it will turn out. I'm sure Van's has it figured out.
I 'm building the RV-14 by myself and am enjoying it more and am spending more time at it. I worked everyday of my holiday vacation and most evenings. If I stay in the house I just fall asleep watching television, so I might as well go out and work on the project.
