Howdy!
I'm trying to figure out whether I can reasonably start my RV-8 project. I'm in the very initial stages of planning. I'm reading through the posts on this site and I've signed up for the EAA sheet metal basics class in March (Watsonville). I haven't yet bought the preview plans.
I'm renting a house with a long one-car garage that would work perfectly for the empennage kit. I'll probably end up going with the QB for the fuselage and wings so sooner rather than later I'll need to find more space for the project.
The question is, how much of the project might I be able complete without attaching the wings?
I'd have enough space for the fuselage and maybe one of the wings going parallel to the fuselage. I figure that once I'm to the point where I need to attach the wings I'll take a sabbatical from work to finish up the project.
What tasks really need to be done after the wings are attached and how much of the build time might those take?
BTW, y'all are awesome. I never would have had the courage to even consider this project without this community.
