John. Are you there? http://www.bmnellis.com/BuilderIdeas/JohnMoskel.htm The aspect of it that concerns me is how to stop it releasing by accident. It seems it still needs a spring to stop the rod rotating somehow. Thanks, Steve. #90360 N Yorks UK Canopy ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:40:58 PM PST US From: "Terry Hobert" Subject: Re: RV9-List: Fuselage Kit Arrived --> RV9-List message posted by: "Terry Hobert" John, How long was it after your order were they ready to ship?

I ordered approximately the 2nd week in December and the ship date was the week of the 17th. Actual ship date was the 20th. That is close enough for me. They have been great to deal with on everything I have ordered to date. I opened it and started the inventory last night. Got side tracked studying some plans actually big enough for my 56 year old eyes to read. No surprises. Everything is up to there usual standards. If you look at my serial number you will notice I am one of the early kits. Received the empennage on April 12, 2000, only about three months after they started shipping. I have not really had any problems with anything other than all my other activities. I race a 36 foot sailboat on Lake Ontario which has taken up my summers. I am not going to race this year, so It will not be quite so intense. I hope to get a lot more done. To date my airplane building has been an October through March activity. So far the wings and empennage are done accept for wing tips and I have 480 hours invested.

Look under member projects. By the way, the Chummy display is very interesting. The chapter built the replica of the Taylor Chummy that hangs in the ROC terminal building. My wife upholstered the seat, and I took all the pictures you see. Used a Kodak Professional digital camera. http://eaa44.org/ John Oliveira N909RV - 90054 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Hobert" Subject: Re: RV9-List: Fuselage Kit Arrived > --> RV9-List message posted by: "Terry Hobert" > > John, How long was it after your order were they ready to ship?
