A little late to the party on the build thread, but better late than never, I guess ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I started my RV-7 project in 2013, purchasing a completed empennage and immediately ordering the wings. At the end of 2014, I paused the build to put up a workshop in my back yard (the one-car garage had gotten too small); moved the airplane project out there in October and finished up the wings.
The flaps have yet to be mounted, since I'm shy on edge distance and I need the larger hinge. I'll pick that up at Spruce next time we're in PTC. Otherwise, just the wingtips left. Fuselage arrived 1/20/16. And yes, this is a repost from the -7 project thread.
Updates will be sporadic and when I feel like it![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Reply 1 will list the current thinking for the end result (paint, panel, etc) and get edited if/when things change. Further progress updates after that.
