Hello out there in R.V. land. I just purchased a -10 last month, and am now working on the vert stab/rudder, soon as I get the skins alodyned they are ready to rivet.
This is my first venture into metal aircraft land, other than getting my SEL cert in a "spam can" 35 years ago. Also, my first venture into on line forums, so please bear with me as I ramble on---------------
I am flying a 1948 Stinson 108-3, have had it for 18 years, and am looking forward to something a bit more modern.
I am looking for info/suggestions/watch-outs etc, as to the building process, and have been reading all of the "threads" here to that end.
Luckily, there is another -10 builder in the area, very well qualified--------a/p, degree in aero engineering, previous builder etc, and I am picking his brain as I get into this, however those of you who have tidbits to share, specially those who have finished the plane, might have something to share that we--------as in everyone out there in cyberland ------can use
to our benefit.
So, if anyone has some words of wisdom for me, I would welcome them.
Thanks, Mike Starkey
