extra hardware after building...

[[email protected]]

Now nearing painting, and with the hangar transformed from a place of building to maintaining, here is the residual hardware that I have.

Okay, so I admit that I bought extra screws and nuts along with some bolts, washers, and nutplates here and there...
There sure are a lot of rivets left over!

That's good to know who has a stash. in case I need a rivet or two in the future.

Stephen,

That must speak to your riveting skills. Obviously, you didn't have to drill out very many.

Do you want my address??

Honestly, I am looking forward to the day I can make the same statement...

 

[Ironflight]

Wait a minute, do I see a tail attach bolt in there?!

Just think of that stash as the start of hardware for your next project. You are going to start another project, aren't you?

There's no such thing....

as "extra" hardware.
It's called "new old stock"!

Well I thought I wanted to go for a ride, but now I'm not so sure.

Just kidding!

Well, that's one way to save weight!

I wonder what it all weighs...

As far as I can tell, all of the holes are filled!

I look forward to putting all of my 'new old stock' to use someday but I really don't want any other RV... the -7 is a fantastic airplane!

I do think about landing on river banks and farms now and then and a super cub sort of thing would be a nice complement; not much sheet metal in those...
