My incident found me flailing through the hangar desperately looking for the first aid kit. Couldn't find it. Ended up resorting to my wilderness first aid training as a Boy Scout leader and using what you have in front of you. Couple of tissues and duct tape stopped the flow. The floor of the hangar looked like a crime scene. I stumbled down a few hangars to a friend who was there, banging on the door. He looked at my "bandage" and went to get a bandaid for me. Clean drill, through and through. The power of a fresh #30 cobalt bit is amazing.
Healed well, no infection. Just washed it out, put a tight real "BandAid" on it. Live and learn.

Awesome. And I thought you were making fun of my recent self-reported incident. Always good to let it bleed a bunch, helps to clean it out.

Welcome to the world of Sonex.
If you have any question I live just down the road in Gloversville.
My Sonex (1611) is 99.9% done, just getting ready to call the FAA.
Hope to fly by and see you after the 40hrs are done.
