Just a quick question to the masses. I have been using VeriPrime for the
inside of my skins but using rattle cans, both Zinc Chromate and
self-etching aluminum Marhide primer.. Just had a passing thought. Do you
suppose that there could be an adverse reaction between these primers? That
they wouldn't get along together when riveted together? My reaction was that
there wouldn't be one, but I am not a expert in disimiliar paints.. Any
thought, comments?

Guys-
Thanks for the advice..
I've been talking with my father and I we are fairly certain we are going to
be ordering the QB kit.. Just not sure how soon.. I'd like to have it last
week! :D
I think we've decided to try and find a "local" class to take the tail
section to, to help us build it.. Sounds like a good idea, coupled with the
QB kit, we should be in good shape.. Kinda hard to believe you can get a
"kit" aircraft in such a prefabbed manner. ;)

Looks like a TON of fun though!
Now, we need to pick out an engine.. My dad will have no less than a 180
horse, I'd like a 200 horse.. Also, it will be IFR equipped.. Any of you
guys have any pics of your IFR panels?
THanks
Jeff

Heh, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself by thinking
about engine choices before even having started the tail ;-)
The tail is 200-250 hours alone. From the web sites I follow it seems
that a typical QB takes 1500-2000 hours of work before first flight.
Doing the slow-build adds around 400-500 hours. The engine installation
time is a relatively minor part of the total. Even when factoring in
engine delivery lead time, you don't have to decide on an engine for at
least another year, assuming about 20 hour a week. You can get the tail
delivered next week as it is in stock, but even if you ordered the
fuselage tomorrow the earliest delivery time is early February (I
called Van's).
The RV-7 is "prefabbed" in the sense that the aluminum is cut and the
holes are pre-drilled, but that doesn't mean it's not a lot of work.
I'm finding that for each hour riveting there is 15-20 hours of
preparing the metal, drilling, deburring, straightening, and priming.
