Tail Kit order was faxed to Vans today, so I suppose I'll have a
builder number shortly and start worrying about picking up the kit and
inventorying it. Looking forward to it.

Hi Rick:
Here are the instructions that we recommend with our engines. Either
method is fine.
1. Using an external source of mineral oil and pressure, pump oil
through the engine using the oil pressure fitting as the inlet source.
Install a temporary gage at the right hand forward galley plug and pump
oil until the temporary gage reads a stable pressure between 40-100 psi.
Remove the temporary gage, install galley plug and connect engine oil
pressure cockpit gage. Remove one upper sparkplug from each cylinder
and, using the engine starter, motor the engine until the cockpit gage
reads stable. Install sparkplugs and torque to 400-425 in/lbs. Install
leads. Engine is ready to start for LIMITED ground run.
2. If no external source is available, remove upper sparkplugs and
rotate engine through using the propeller until some indication on the
cockpit gage appears. Using the engine starter, motor the engine until
the gage reads 40-100 psi, stable. Observe starter limitations.
Install sparkplugs as above.
Best,
Rhonda

#2 is what Aerosport recommends and what I did.
Took about 6-8 seconds to see an indication.

I have been following the list for about a year. After deciding what
airplane to build, the next major decision was what tools to buy. Tim
Olson's and Larry Rosen's web sites (along with several others) plus
much appreciated personal communication from both of them proved
invaluable. The advice coincided well with the little flurry on tools
in March. One suggestion I have not seen since monitoring the list is
to cover at least some of the shop floor with rubber matting to lessen
fatigue. Costco carries it at a good price.
I received my empennage kit in February planning to start building in
late spring. I guess I am on schedule as I took the plunge on
Wednesday. Unfortunately after cutting and deburring the rear spar caps
for the VS, I discovered a significant scratch on the VS rear spar. I
hold an A & P certificate obtained at the University of Illinois in
1961, but I have not worked on aircraft since 1965. Thus I sought
advice from one of our EAA tech counselors. We both agreed that it
should probably be replaced. I contacted Vans and sent them a digital
picture. I received an immediate response that the scratch should have
been caught in the packing process and that a new spar was on its way.
Thus my experience so far is very positive.
As others have said, this list is an extremely valuable resource. I
look forward to leaning on it and hopefully offering some helpful input
an my project goes forward.

Welcome aboard.
The tool kit I got from Isham a couple of years ago turned out to be a
good one. The only waste was some rivet tape that looked it should be
used on a 747.

Regarding rubber matting - I bought (4) 2' squares and found it to be
perfect for covering my active 'foot print' while not getting in the
way. I don't think a rubber floor in a shop is a good thing but
standing on rubber is a joy.
I spent my working career sitting on my butt so I've always focused on
sitting comfort. Building is about standing a lot, and this flat
footed, weak kneed builder has found a pair of Sketcher sandals to be
the best tool in the shop. Personal preference rules but a little
experimentation with the shoes and floor surface seems more than
worthwhile.
Welcome aboard.
