Thanks, Mike. I have not yet read the plans fully. I might knock this thing out this week. At least the front part...:) Just my opinion, but if you get access to the bottom of the AN-4 bolts that go through the longerons the front blocks are pretty quick and easy. I'm sure you'll get that part done...

Hey Kip, I can't be certain but I think the two additional NAS bolts are part of the service bulletin and were not part of any original plans. The plans instruct you to use the new doubler as a template for those holes. I ended up putting the rest of the bolts through the doubler then drilled the ne...

Looks great Robbie! Get that aft spar done and get that thing riveted together so you can start squaring the wing frame and start skinning the wings! :)

Keep up the good work!

Hey, congrats on the first start! That looks great! Looks a little cold there too... :lol:

Question for you...I noticed you have a crush plate on the front of your prop...do you have some kind of spinner planned? Are you going to use the stock Sonex part?

Hi Robbie, I ran my pitot tube line the way as depicted in the plans, which is via the aft main lightening hole in the forward wing ribs. I think I riveted on metal tabs on the first 4 ribs for the clear plastic tube for the pitot tube. For the electrical wires, I ended up taking each nose rib on bo...

I've got my fingers crossed that the stock setup with the machined drums will be enough. When I built my forward fuselage I installed the crappy stamped drums but just replaced them with the machined ones. Since I'm at an airport with a 4200' paved runway I'm hoping they will be sufficient.

Thanks for the pictures. I haven't attached my tail structure yet, but ill be doing this SB very soon. When I first built and installed my aft "Y" spar I did so outside as a sub-assembly, then riveted it in place. If you do the same it should be a simple, easy item to add to the build. If...

Here's my attempt at taking some better pictures of my SB... Here you can see that I removed enough material on the 1/4" plate that the plate fits right inside the rivet row. It was a slow trial and error method until I removed enough material: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v687/MikePGT/IMG...

I'll take the good camera up today and get some better pics to post. I can tell you that I really didn't want to bend the side skins on my plane, especially the pilot side where the hinge is located, so to make the plate fit I ended up sanding probably around 1/16" off each side and then chamfe...

Well, I finally got the service bulletin finished today... Actually, I started the SB a few weeks ago by match drilling the 7/8" blocks onto the forward spar angle: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v687/MikePGT/2011-12-27_17-29-21_734.jpg For a while I considered calling that good enough, but ...
