Hello all,
Just received my empennage kit for an RV-9.
I have built most of a LongEz and also have a Dragonfly which was
damaged (not by me), and I am
repairing it.
I live in southwest GA in Moultrie. There are several RV owners here,
and a couple
builders. There is an RV-9 builder about 40 miles from here,
thankfully, and he has a grass
strip.
Anyway, would like to hear from others around me. I hope to make Sun N Fun.
Any advice for someone new to RV's and metal construction welcome.
I design electronics and write software for a living.
Thanks,
Glen Bankston

When dimpling the skins, strike the die one time with a 12oz. hammer smartly

Don't try to save money on the toolkit - buy the whole package
from Avery or Cleveland - you're going to need them all anyway,
and you'll spend a lot more money if you have to have something
rush delivered so you can keep working. The extra long and
double offset air gun set for 470 rivets will really help in
certain corners of the Horiz Stab.

My buddy and I also recently purchased the RV-9A empenage kit and we are scheduled
to build the entire kit at the Alexander Technical Center down in Griffin
GA. We are going to the March 29th - April 3rd class and should have our complete
Tail Kit finished by that weekend. We are new to sheetmetal buidling and homebuilts
but truly love the Rv's.
Here is a brief review of the course:
This 5-7 day program will help the new RV builder in the following ways:
Build your entire tail assembly in our climate controlled sheet metal shop in
less than 1 week
Learn basic sheet metal construction under the supervision of our professional
instructors
Work with our tools so you will know what you need before you spend a lot of money
on unnecessary equipment
Gain a level of confidence while working with our instructors that will carry
over as you build the rest of the airplane in your workshop
Learn how to read aircraft building instructions and plans
In a few days you will develop the skills necessary to complete the remainder
of the airplane
We will help you start the builder's log for your RV
You can get more information on the Alexaner Tech Center at http://www.buildtofly.com/
Good Luck with your buidling.....

Sounds like you are off to a good start already by looking up who else
in your area is building an RV.
Set aside cash to buy tools! The real shock to me has been the monthly
tool purchases. I have allocated about $200 a month for tools and that
was after I bought all the basic tools.
In short, get the CORRECT tool for the job you are about to undertake.
Don't try and make something work, you will only bugger up parts.
Also, don't get discouraged by mistakes, you can always buy new parts
and the best part is, the 2nd or 3rd part you make will come out
perfect. (I had to buy two HS skins and three HS nose ribs before I got
it right.)
