Empennage - July 2005


1.5 Hours Spent in July
 
 7/12/2005 0.75h Back from vacation and easing back into the project. Though the last couple weeks were not spent on the RV project, I did spend quite a bit of time on aviation. I did my BFR and IPC while down in Texas, as well as flying another 10 hours or so. I should be ready to fly into Oshkosh at the end of the month. For today on the project,  I trimmed the stiffeners for the elevators.
 
 7/13/2005 0.5h Okay, not spending a lot of time yet, but I'm at least trying to make it daily or fairly close to every day. I marked and finished trimming the angle on the stiffeners for the elevators. Next up is some quality time with the Scotch-Brite wheel.
   
 7/14/2005 Close to the effort to spend time on the plane daily, I spent about a half hour cleaning up the garage and recycling boxes that had piled up. I need to start getting space ready for the quick-build kit, which could be ready at any time now. (Though I'm not expecting it until after Oshkosh at the end of the month.)
   
 7/19/2005 0.25h Put the belt sander to a little use and ground down the edges on the stiffeners. Should be an easy task to smooth out the edges now. Up next is all of the edge prep on the right elevator and stiffeners, then to match drill them.
