| Subject: | RV-9 construction |
I would like the groups opinion on my situation.
I have had to move approximately 40 miles from my hangar.
Would it be feasible to store the majority of the parts in the hangar and b
ring a assembly at a time home to work on it. My shop is small but may hol
d a fuselage or wing (s).
Can you reasonably finish a major assembly at a time? Final assembly in th
e hangar would be easy, but, how far can you go before you have to be worki
ng on the whole to finish.
I can measure the spaces, but do not know if the concept is workable. How
many extra hours would this add?
Any opinions would be appreciated.

William,
Work at home and store unused parts and finished assemblies at hangar.
If you keep the active work near home, you are more likely to work on
it.

Hi,
It's entirely workable as you do major assemblies one at a time anyway.
I've so far built everything in my (barely) two car garage. I'm on the
fuselage now and it's a tight fit but can be done. The horizontal
stabilizer and elevators are in my bedroom, the VS and rudder in the
kitchen, and the wings were in the dining room until I built a stand to put
them in. Needless to say I'm single and eat out a lot. Assuming you have
all the tools you need at home I don't see why this would add any more hours
to the project with the exception of the time you spend transporting things
back and forth. Obviously you will need to go back to the hanger for the
wing mounting on the fuselage. You're better off having this close even if
it's in tight quarters because it's much easier to step out in the shop and
work for an hour if you want without having to think about driving 40 miles
each way. My guess is you wouldn't make the drive and the project would
languish except for on the weekend (assuming you're not retired and have to
work every weekday). So bring some things home and have at it!
