This give me about 7-8 weeks to get ready for the wings. I started off by cleaning the stiffeners and longerons that I finished yesterday and finished with priming them. I had to stop for a bit while I sold a motorcycle and went to flying lessons. It was a bit bumpy but I got some landings in New Haven (KHVN) while it was incredibly busy. I thought the poor controller was going to pass out from all the talking he was doing. On the way back I got to do some instrument work for the first time. So far that seems easy.<\/p>\n<p>When I got back i finished cleaning the rest of the stiffeners. While those were drying I prepped the remaining parts I had yet to scuff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/i.php?\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075742-198df409-me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/i.php?\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075742-198df409-me.jpg\" width=\"792\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075749-0d43baa3-me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075749-0d43baa3-me.jpg\" width=\"335\" height=\"594\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once I had those parts primed, I started reviewing the drawings and see what I hadn&#8217;t done yet. The next thing I decided I was going to work on was the battery &amp; bellcrank mount. This required separating a few pieces from 1 extrusion. There really wasn&#8217;t much to do here. I deburred all the edges, drilled holes to the proper size, and countersunk a few rivet holes. After priming I riveted the nut plates on.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 802px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075754-1dc5c1ac-me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075754-1dc5c1ac-me.jpg\" width=\"792\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">ready for priming<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 802px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075809-9d6c535d-me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075809-9d6c535d-me.jpg\" width=\"792\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">all riveted<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 802px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075813-a8468ae2-me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2014\/04\/13\/20140413075813-a8468ae2-me.jpg\" width=\"792\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">assembled<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tomorrow if I&#8217;m motivated, I will start working on the skins if I can&#8217;t find anything else to avoid working on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I received a letter from Van&#8217;s notifying me that my wing kit will ship on the week of June 2nd.
