Odds and Ends

Michelle says that the hinge has arrived from Aircraft Spruce.  I’ll be able to tackle that trim tab tomorrow.

This weekend my daughter Gayle and I are going to a SportAir workshop in Kansas City.  We are taking the composite class.  I know nothing about fiberglass and working with other composites, so this will be an excellent opportunity get acquainted with those materials and processes.  The RV doesn’t have a lot of composite work, but some of it is very important such as some under the cowl, the tips of the wings, rudder, HS and VS, wheel fairings…now that I think about it, I guess there is quite a bit of fiberglass. 🙂

I have to resist the urge to start on the wings.  Waiting for a part, or having a bit of down time, I am tempted to start on the wings.  I really have to focus on finishing the empennage first.
