Winter Break

 So I haven't been in the garage much during the winter.  The weather has been crappy and cold and I have been busy with the kids.  As well, the weather hasn't been warm enough to do any priming and painting outside.  So, I've taken the winter off and am getting back to it finally this week after some home renovations are done.


Just before I ended in the fall, I was finishing up the horizontal stabilizer spars.  I made an oopsy on some bad rivets, the longer ones seem to be bit more finnicky.  I drilled them out and those holes were not great.  I reached out to Vans technical support and was given the go ahead to create a doubler's and rivet it on.  I ordered up some doubler's via Send Cut Send and am going to get those finalized this coming week.  Back to work.  


More updates to come now that the weather is finally improving.  And I hope everyone had fun at Sun n Fun this week.  It was fun watching everyone's updates online.  I will see everyone at Oshkosh as I will be there from Sunday to Thursday this year.  I am planning to do some workshops and hope to attend the RV-10 builders dinner to meet some others this year.
