The same for you. This morning I started riveting the 705 bulkhead together this morning. Figuring out how to hold everything together to match drill those two angle pieces for the tip-up took a little thought. I figured it out and moved on. 149 hours! Man, you have been flying the daylights out of your -9. Sounds to me like your plane will be warn out by the time I finish mine. I hope you and your family had a great holiday season.

Yippeeee! So I am about to build the wing jig. Space is a little limited but I would like to build both wings at the same time. I would like to build one structure with 2 uprights and mount both wings on it on opposite sides so I can build both wings at once. I figure if have to get to the back side, I will take the other wing off the structure and set it in the storage rack. Is this really practical? Or would I be moving the wings around so often the hassle factor would be excessive? If this is a bad idea, how much space between the wings is necessary--just enough to get a person in there to buck rivets and screw on the tanks? Thanks for your advice. Richard Scott RV-9A Emp Done!

Worked great, and they stayed there from the time I hung the main spars on them, to the time they were completed (sans wingtips). Worked great for me. Also, as a side note, I back riveted my tops skins in this fashion, and when I completed my bottom skins with the help of a friend we compared the degree of difficulty in finishing his QB bottom skins on a table. We both agreed, hanging vs. on a table was easier to do. Just my .02.

Put it on wheels under it and put plywood on top so it became storage.

I could slide them further apart (about 2') when necessary, but didn't have to do that often. I built them in the area between cars in a two car garage. There did come a point where I had to rack one wing to finish the other. While there were a few times things could have been more convenient, I never put the first wing back on the jig. A role-around rack for the finished wings has been a big help. Bob Kelly On 01/02/05, Richard Scott wrote: > --> RV9-List message posted by: Richard Scott > > I am finally about to start my wings.
