    take-offs and pattern layout calcs for my remaining spar channels. I've got access to a full sheetmetal shop for 3 days next week, I want to be prepared to make the most of it. 10426830_983699135052237_2475143281407367041_n.jpg

      Just made push rod for Garmin pitch servo. Pretty straightforward. Will need to beef up floor under both servos. The roll servo is going to take a little more head scratching.

          Mark, where did you end up getting your cap strip materials from? Did you buy a sheet and rip it yourself, or find some 1/8" strips ready to cut?

          Vans Aircraft. Basically we got lucky. Caught them at the right time. They're just down the road. If you have a kit manufacturer near you it's worth checking.

          I just finished a session of the same. Got a few more nights work to go on mine, I can only do a couple before my hand craps up from holding the file.

          Finished bending up the rest of my spar channels. Also bent up all the .032 rib attach angles.

            Got back to working on the firewall forward. Have most of the parts, just trying to get psyched up for the thousand nutplates. IMG_2929.JPG

              Holy Smokes. Where do they all go? I thought the wing was bad with all of them called for in the fuel tank cover and inspection holes! Looks like you are about 8 years ahead of me.

            If you're going to do a bunch of nutplates, and don't already have the proper sized nutplate jig, I would HIGHLY encourage purchasing one (or borrowing one from someone who has one near you). It makes the job far less tedious, and even (a little bit) fun. I did all my aluminum floorboard attachment with nutplates so I can remove the floor for maintenance access. Aircraft Spruce has them in various sizes, so make sure you get the right ones for your nutplates.

                          I am laying out my main spars. So of course, my workbench is too short and I have to build a 16' worktable before I can continue.

                            Patrick, sounds like you are just a few steps ahead of me. I am interested in see how you lay things out. Keep us updated with photos and techniques.

                            I have been making plans for bending the sheet metal for the Spars and trailing edge materials. I found a sheet metal shop whom I plan to use to shear and bend everything. It would be real nice if it got done this week. We will see.
