Charlie,
Weight is not a problem. I don't recall which one I used but next time you
come down to this end of the runway you can look at mine.

IIRC, the es-pc680 battery install kit for the -6/7/9 includes a steel
battery tray. It would seem that a frame of aluminum angle would be
strong enough & lighter. Does anyone know if steel is really needed, or
am I wrong about the weight issue?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi all,
I just had to comment on a milestone in my project.
I have been working on a very slow build RV-6 for more years than I care to
mention and progress has been slow and at times nonexistent.
But finally, after a very productive couple of weeks, I have both fuel tanks
pro-sealed. This is after many years of procrastination and fretting over
the task. It feels good to achieve these steps even if it does take years
to get there. In the end you wonder why you put it off so long.
Messy-absolutely. Hard-not really! The idea of doing it was the worst
thing.
I have always monitored this list and the topics discussed over the years
and it has helped to keep me informed and interested in my project.
Now-on to the Fuselage!

I just came across a web site with a trick Ernest Hemmingway used for
writing.but it could be used for any long project.
http://www.secondactive.com/2009/08/boost-your-productivity-with-hemingways.
html
"The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know
what will happen next. If you do that every day . you will never be stuck.
Always stop while you are going good and don't think about it or worry about
it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will
work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry
about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start."

Dave, I just ordered my finishing kit, I should have done it the day
after Thanksgiving, procrastination is our real enemy. I have been
thinking about the engine and I should have just went ahead and ordered
the finishing kit. I think if I spent more time on the project and less
time on worrying, I would be much better off! Grad on the fuel tanks,
it is a milestone.

How about 16 years, Dave? My RV-6A is in the finishing stages now, wiring
and canopy to go. If I could really focus I might have it flying by next
fall.
By the way, I grew up in Caldwell. How is the weather? I am currently in
AZ.

You got me by a few years (3 to be exact)!
Weather is warmer (50 degrees F.) but windy today.

DAVE:
CONGRATULATIONS RE COMPLETION OF THE FUEL TANKS - THAT'S A BIG ONE. IT TOOK
MY WIFE AND ME SIX WEEKS TO DO BOTH TANKS. STAY WITH IT. ONE LITTLE SUB
ELEMENT AT A TIME AND, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY COME TOGETHER INTO AN
AIRPLANE. IT TOOK US 6.5 YEARS TO GET IT FLYING AND ANOTHER 5+ MONTHS TO
FINISH OFF THE FAIRINGS. IT'S DONE NOW AND FLYING BEAUTIFULLY.
GOOD BUILDING!

Hey Mike-I remember your name and have used your website now and then over
the years when I needed some.
I hear you on the 'life getting in the way' thing. I have had many things
get in my way but my faithful project is always waiting right where I left
it ready to go whenever I get back at it!
