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.

    Subject: Image Resizer Utility
    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. ;) Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD - Flying do not archive cloudvalley@comcast.net wrote: > Hello, > My wife and I have finished the empennage!

    Subject: Empennage
    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).

    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? Do not archive.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Subject: Empennage
    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.
