My first send of this message got kicked back to me saying that it was
to large with the attachments I had so I've cut it down, I hope, to
size. If any of you would like to see any of the other install pictures
just e-mail me and I will forward them to you.
Lets try this again :>}

Subject: Panel install
We are in the process of installing my instrument panel and I thought I
would share a couple of photos with you. Stein's group built my panel
and even though it has been a while in the making, it was well worth the
wait for me. I think it turned out great. I'm certainly glad I didn't
have to rely on my skill set to install this puppy or I would be in the
deep you know what. I'm pretty much a neophyte when it comes to
electrical stuff.
For me it's seems at times I can get frustrated with the process and the
delays one runs into in this journey we are all taking but when you see
it coming together like this it all pops back into focus that this thing
maybe is really going to fly someday :>}
Stein was telling me that he just wrote an article for Kit Plane
Magazine about panel building and installation and he said they will use
some of the photos from my instrument install in that article.
If some of you are like me and only receive the daily Matronics summary,
which usually doesn't include photo attachments, and you would like to
see the photos I'm sending, just e-mail me and I will forward them on to
you.

Hello,
My wife and I have finished the empennage! Now we have a wait to get to the rest
of the kit, in order to get other things ready to facilitate the building process,
like a well-equipped shop! Exciting and frustrating already, and we are
fairly new in the group. We were told the tail section is the most difficult
if you are getting the quickbuild. Does anyone agree with that?

Microsoft has a Powertoy utility called ImageResizer which is available
here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
and
will resize picture file by about 90%. The file name is
ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe and it is very useful not only for making
picture files smaller (i.e., a 698KB jpg was resized to 56KB) to send to
the
list but also requires far less disk space for all those pictures we
take of
out projects. It works well, is very fast, and the pictures look very
good
after being compressed. All you do is select the picture file or files,
right click, select resize and in a few seconds you have a copy of the
file
reduced in file while the original is not altered.

I'd disagree for sure. The tail is lots of busy work, but the plans
are pretty good....same with the wings, and none of it is too hard.
Where you really get into some less fun stuff would be in some of the
canopy/door/cowl/fairing/FWF and other stuff. Your QB fuse will
sure save you what is probably the most difficult part of the metal
building, but it's the glass work that is probably the biggest pain
and the hardest to get perfect. Not meaning to disappoint you, but
that's just my opinion. Too bad they don't offer a QB fiberglass
kit....with the canopy trimmed and fit and the doors installed. ;)

Actually, I use Linux most of the time (even at work - we find it much
more reliable for our medical devices that are used in the O.R. - Would
you want a blue screen to happen there? ).
There's a nice little tool to do the same thing, but gives you much more
control over the process. for those so interested:

Tim is right on about the fiberglass work not being much fun. It would be
bad enough without the poor quality of the canopy, doors, wheel fairings and
cowl. Mine were rough and it takes a lot of work to make them look nice.
Hopefully they have improved the workmanship since my kit number 40043 and
you will whiz right on through that part of the building.

I agree completely. The metal work is a lot of hours, but very little of it
is very hard. The hardest part (at least for those of us who are not
fiberglass masters) would be the fiberglass parts. The plans are not as
good as they could be in those parts, and the parts from Van's, as has been
discussed recently, are not as precise as the metal parts. Every door fits
a little bit differently. Every cabin top is a little different. The
scribe marks are half-decent for reference, but you can never count on them.
If you follow the marks on the fiberglass as perfect, you will certainly
find yourself in problems. Even the marks on the doors that are used to
hold it to the fuse when gluing the halves can be as much as an inch or two
off, which could really mess up the door if they are counted on.
The nice thing about the tail is that there are 5 completely separate goals
of building, each of which you can see substantial progress on in a short
period of time. When you get to the cabin top or doors, you can work hours
and hours and it looks almost the same as when you started (although it is
not the same - better hopefully, and closer to being done).

Mine (7) recently helped me pick a bolt out from between the skin and inner

going behind me putting tape tabs on the rivets as I filled the holes.

Subject: | Image Resizer Utility |
So, your suggestion is to reboot the computer to linux every time we
want to
resize a picture? :-) I agree that Linux can be great and is usually
(OK,
maybe always) more stable, but there is a good reason that
some-very-high-percentage of computers in the world run Windows.
Kind of like the comparison between the Lancair and RV-10. The Lancair
may
be considered by many to be a better plane, but there is a reason
(beyond
just marketing) that the -10 has sold 700 kits in 3.5 years. Is there
any
other model of experimental that can boast this?

They haven't. I don't know if it is a matter of molds getting worn out
(does this happen) or molders getting lazy, but there have been no

Subject: | Re: Image Resizer Utility |
Jesse,
No No No No! That is *NOT* what I said. I said *I* use Linux. There
may be others out there who want to try it, but why try it without a
purpose?
If we shouldn't share ideas, why even have this list?
Linux is not for everyone. Windows is not for everyone.

Jesse,
I found a painter that wanted to do the finishing work on the fiberglass.
He really put some lipstick on a pig - it came out of the paint shop looking
great.

It's all good. Sometimes it's fun to "play in the mud"-NOT!
I spent a lot of time scratching my head and being indicisive after the
airframe was completed.
That's the frustrating part to me.

Oh yeah, it can look as good or as bad as you want it to. That is one of
the beauties of fiberglass. It is a lot harder to make a ding in the metal
look good than in the fiberglass, especially while making it look like
nothing out of the ordinary happened there. The problem is the number of
hours it takes to do that.
Have you posted any pictures to the list?
Do not archive.

Subject: | Re: Image Resizer Utility |
Another option that I use is IRFAN. A very good piece of freeware for
photoediting and handling tasks. Seems to have very compact code with
lot's of function and little overhead. My default photo viewer. Just
Google it if you want to take a look.

If there was such a product, and VAN would credit builders the cost of
the canopy & doors, just how much more would a QB builder offer to pay
for such an offering? Cause it may just be in the works.

Now that is an excellent idea! Email Van's about this idea of yours.

I am at the point of fitting the cabin top to the airframe.
The sides have a gap of 1/16 to slightly more. Should I continue to sand
the door rails to get this to fit better or is the general concensus to let
the painter fill this small space with epoxy.

Tad, If your talking about the joggle/ seam between the Cabin cover and
the aft Fuse just above the longerons, where the CS4-4's go, then I
think that you should be happy with 1/16" and filling during
paint/finishing. If it's around the door frame you've probably got some
more work to do.

Exactly the area in question. Is it possible to continue sanding the door
sil to bring this gap down or am I going in the wrong direction. Secondly
will the gap cause issues later in any respect
Thanks

Tad, The 'Joggle' is only cosmetic, as long as you have enough
fiberglass material below the fuse skins edges to allow for the doubler
and sufficient edge distance for the CS4-4's, when match drilled, stop
while you're ahead. If you continue sanding on the door sill you run the
risk of thinning this piece too much and weakening it. The door
frame/sill is NOT cosmetic, it is structural, the more actual fiberglass
material you sand away the weaker the structure.

Which area of the two Deems referred to are you referring to? I agree that
as long as there is enough overlap to have decent edge clearance on the aft
edge rivets, that's not a big deal. Fill it in the end and it will be fine.
If the gap is around the door, I don't see how sanding will make the gap
smaller. A picture would help here. The uprights fore and aft of the door
are vertical, so lowering the cabin top into the opening will not close a
gap, I don't think. When in doubt, stop sanding and check around, just like
you are doing.

They do, and it is $85k, goto the website for the Vans QB builders and
they have it listed for purchase. Do not know how you would get it
certified here though.

I'd disagree for sure. The tail is lots of busy work, but the plans
are pretty good....same with the wings, and none of it is too hard.
Where you really get into some less fun stuff would be in some of the
canopy/door/cowl/fairing/FWF and other stuff. Your QB fuse will
sure save you what is probably the most difficult part of the metal
building, but it's the glass work that is probably the biggest pain
and the hardest to get perfect. Not meaning to disappoint you, but
that's just my opinion. Too bad they don't offer a QB fiberglass
kit....with the canopy trimmed and fit and the doors installed. ;)
