Does anyone have any comments (pro or con) on the CreativAir position/landing lights?

Nelson,

 I ordered the two kits and they are due to show up at my door today.  I 
will let you know how look.  The owner (Bill Vondane has been busy in his 
other profession (Like all of us) and it took a couple emails to get it 
shipped, but he seems like a very nice and accommodating person.  I am 
looking forward to receiving and installing the kits.

Hi Dan.  As far as I know, the RV-7 does not require a jig (as opposed to a building
platform) to build the HS, or any of the other major components.  As a matter
of fact, I understand that Vans discourages the use of a jig.   Part of
the concept of the pre-punched holes is that no jig is needed and if you force
the part into a jig you might actually build it out of alignment.  Your "oil-canning"
problem might be a symptom of this.

Hi All-


I just completed my RV-7 HS from an early kit that required building the
jig. While I was looking over my work (and a few minor mistakes).I noticed
something that has me concerned. 

On the top left hand skin closest to the root and furthest aft I have a very
slight amount of "oil canning". The skin feels like it should be a little
tighter in this area. If I press down lightly on the trailing edge of the HS
it feels a bit better, but still just a little less taught than the opposite
side. 

I was wondering if anyone had ever experienced this. And if so what they did
to rectify it. I am only about 30 min from Vans and am considering picking
up a new HS to complete while I await the arrival of my QB in February. The
second one always comes out better right?


 Any help would be greatly appreciated!


 Thanks-


 Dan
