Ha. I'm so far behind on updating the website that I'll probably never get
it up to date. I tried a few weeks ago but I didn't know where to start. I
ended up throwing on a few more pictures, tried to type some insightful
words of wisdom describing aspects of the project, then I said to heck with
it and headed out to the hangar :-)
I'm glad you like what I've got. As testing progresses I will try to
post some numbers.

Anyhow, thanks for your very informative web-site... heaven knows how you made
the time to keep it going, and build a marvellous flying object at the same time.

| Subject: | separating HS spars |
--> RV9-List message posted by: Paul Eastham <abstraction@yahoo.com>
Well, my emp kit arrived today, and it's a good thing my tools are not
here yet, else I would be completely stuck on the very first step!
The pairs of front/rear HS spars came nested together and I cannot
for the life of me get them to come apart. They seem to be the same-size
"U" shape and have been pressed together such that the outer one is squeezing
the inner one. I already tried wiggling
some rubber-coated tool handles in there with limited success, but
the rest of the length of the spar remained completely stuck.
Naturally I could use large amounts of force, but seeing as these are
aircraft parts, I am looking for a gentler approach. Any ideas?
Maybe a bunch of c-clamps to compress the inner one so that it will come
out? (don't know if that will damage the part though)
Thanks!
Paul

Use the force Paul;
When you first begin building, it is natural to think of these parts as
"holy", and you'll treat them as fine china, but soon you'll realize that
it's just metal and not fragile at all. This is not to say that some care is
not required.
A wooden wedge driven between them should force them apart.
