I lost track of progress on the DRDT setup because I wasn't in a rush. Now that I have the wing kit sitting on my garage floor, I had no reason to stall anymore. After finishing up inventory, I got to work on getting this table put together. I utilized the plans within the box and made the table. It went together pretty simply using a few nails and some wood glue to hold everything together. I finished the frame and will be planning to head out to Lowes for some cheap carpet to line it tomorrow. Once that is done, I can finish up organizing the tools, receive the primer I ordered, and get started.
In other news, I received notice from Van's that they are preparing to crate my empennage kit. This was estimated to be ready for shipment in mid May. This is only a month away, so I am debating waiting for the tail kit and starting that first like normal people would. This would give me a bit of time to finish organizing and also not be in over my head at first. However, I do need to organize the kits better if I am going to have room to work on the kits together. I also decided to cancel my practice kit order. They are backordered through at least May or June and it seems a bit pointless to now wait two months to do those when I will have two kits sitting in the garage. So once I finish up the organizing of my tools, I think I am going to just get started. Let's hope this doesn't backfire on me.
