Best builder log sites?

[SP1]

Anyone have recommendations for build logs to check out? I'm looking for ones that best illustrate the build process and help detail the potential gotchas. I'm aware of Sonex604.com (jeff's). Any other sites that stand out for completeness and thoroughness? Thanks!

One I used other than Jeff's site is Bob Meyers. he was about a year ahead of me in his build but has a lot of information and pictures.

I'll volunteer mine, it's received a lot of positive responses and I feel like I kept a lot of good layman details in it right up until the final stages of the project (still in 99% completion limbo.)

I recommend also going to the Kitlog Pro website and seaching under type acft, sonex. You will find many builder logs, and can look at multiple examples of work by multpile builders, both in progress and completed.

Mike Smith has a good one for those scratch building. I dont have a link but a quick google of his name and Sonex will find it.

Lots of pictures under the empennage section which might help you with your current issues.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I was able to find another mistake on the used kit I bought using these websites. The nut plate to hold the elevator trim screw on the elevator was not installed before the whole part was riveted together. Bummer.

Sam,

You can use a 3/16 rivet or install a rivnut to hold that clamp. It's not as good as a nutplate on the inside, but may be better than opening it back up again.

Thanks Jeff for the tip. I definitely did not want to open up the piece for the trim screw.

From the podcast, sounds like you had lots of fun at OshKosh
