As I complete each step, I date and ok it as done. If there is any issue that still needs attention, I notate that for later review and completion. I also take some pictures but not that many. I am more concerned about building a quality plane rather than documenting it. Others such as Day Checkaway and Sam Buchanon and many others have great web sites that shows they devoted a larger part of their life to documenting their work. I use them when ever needed. I particularly take pictures of my project when someone that has considerable experience comes over and look at my project. That is evidence that I am not just doing this without some oversight. The construction book with my log notes along with pics and receipts of extra things needed to complete the plane are plenty of evidence of meeting the 51% rule. Indiana Larry, RV7 TipUp "SunSeeker" About 96% complete and 14% yet to go. The sincerest satisfactions in life come in doing and not dodging duty; in meeting and solving problems, in facing facts; in flying a virgin plane never flown before. - Richard L.

It is not user friendly. I NOW KEEP TRACK IN A WRITTEN BOOK AND TAKE DIGITAL PICS THAT I PRINT AND ADD TO THE APPROPRIATE COMMENTS. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Bell" Subject: RV7-List: Builders Log > --> RV7-List message posted by: William Bell > > I would like to find out how most of you are tracking your time and > what you are using for a builders log.
