Fuselage May 2008 Updates May 26, 2008 Memorial Day!.... - 4.0 hrs First off I want to show the flag I had put up for Memorial Day in my front yard. We RV builders would not be able to do what we do if it were not for our men and women in the Armed Forces fighting for our freedoms. My dad is one of those folks. He spent 20 years in the Navy during the Vietnam era. Thanks DAD! I love ya! Today I decided to start checking off what wiring still needs to be done in the engine area. All instruments are connected now so I first cleaned up the wires coming down from the battery to the contactors. Everything is organized and looking pretty. Next I got the prop out and tested the backplate doubler for clearance. Now I have to decide if I want the prop on and in the way if I start on the canopy next. I may wait to work on the canopy and do the cowl last instead. If so no sense in putting the prop on to end up walking around it. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
