A 4 day holiday weekend for Thanksgiving with awesomely warm weather resulted in a lot time to work on the plane. I did not get as far as I wanted to, but, as my friend Ron has already stated in his blog when he got to this point, this where it starts to get fun. This a a pic of the left side horizontal stabilizer with the skin pulled down off the shelf and clecoed to the frame. Lots of hole drilling, dimpling, priming,and riveting yet to do, but getting ever closer.......
This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.
