Would this be a good time to drill the floor skins on? Kevin Shannon HR II ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:01:17 PM PST US From: "Jim" Subject: Re: Rocket-List: fuse jigging --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Jim" I built the center section using the spars but I don't know why you would have to use the wings to build the fixture. No, there are no match drilled skins until you install the wings. Just be careful not to get the inboard skins too close to the fuselage. It makes doing fuel lines and so on extremely difficult when the wing is on and the skins are too close. jim '05 HR2 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:02:34 PM PST US From: "JOHN STARN" Subject: Rocket-List: netiquette.* --> Rocket-List message posted by: "JOHN STARN" Gee and all along I thought the RV list for ALL those various factors clearly laid out in Matt's guidelines. Once you've completed putting tab A into slot B (after flying for 5 plus years we're still doing that) ya find there are lots of great people within the RV family. I enjoy "talking" to those around the world that I would never have met. Check out the REST of the guidelines, you will find the word "camarderie" in there AND you'll find that it's at fly-ins too. I've gained must more than I could ever give back BUT I have & will donate & continue to commutate with my "friends" on this one common ground we share. With regard to wing installation. Make sure to have supports under wing #1 BEFORE attempting to go pick up #2. Don't force them into place, wiggle & giggle but NO FORCE. Would suggest a minimum crew of three. One fore & aft on the wing & #3 at the tip. (#4 inside cockpit if possible to slip in the bolts) Do not let go of wing #1 without support. Do not let go of wing #1 without support. Do not let...........you get the idea. HRII N561FS Closing in on 300 hrs.
