That's great Robbie. What kind of RV is your brother building? I foresee you'll be flying well before him. :lol: As I'm sure you've seen, he's going to need to deburr then dimple every rivet hole, and the solid rivets take more time (and help) to rivet than our stainless pop rivets. That is assuming...

Understood Robbie. Did you also go for the angle kit? Looking back, both kits would have been really nice but if I had to choose I would have bought the angle kit. Have fun framing the wings...I thought it was pretty cool when I cleco'd the ribs on the spars the first time. You'll be there in no time!

That looks great Robbie! Congrats on your milestone :D

Have fun on the wings. Did you get the preassembled spars? If you did, you'll have your wings framed out in no time! (not that the spars are that bad...)

I'm 100% with Kip on this. If mine needed any adjusting at all, it was very little and done by hand. My rib prep was to make sure all edges and lightning holes were smooth with sandpaper, mark flange centerlines with a sharpie, and then start putting them on the spar. Most of the prep time was spent...

Hi Frank, I don't think the vents below the panel are ineffective, but the Vans adjustable vents do allow a little more air into the cabin. I chose them after watching Tony Spicers video when he mentioned lots of air through these vents, plus I like adjustable vents. I also put them in my panel simp...

Here's my basic panel

Stratomaster Ultra XL, FlightCom FL-760 radio, Sigtronics intercom. Very simple and light!

Hey all, just as a quick update I'm still hacking away at #0056 with hopes that the end is slowly getting closer. Lately I've been working on wiring and engine baffles, both being a lot of fun! (sarcasm...) Anyway, the controls are now on: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v687/MikePGT/2011-11-16_10...

I know it doesn't help much right now, but I would probably wait and see what the factory says. You may still have enough edge distance there once you up drill to 3/16", but I can't remember what is needed.

We've all faced issues...just keep at it and see what Kerry suggests. Let us know!

I hope they do! That will be my next project! :mrgreen:

Congrats on the left seat upgrade Marc!

Mark, I'm going to second what Kip and Robbie have said. While the wings on the Sonex are "removable", it's certainly not something you'd want to do on a regular basis. In fact, I'm really hoping I never have to pull mine off again! I was working on something a few weeks ago and dropped a ...
