| Subject: | Re: RV-9 construction |
Hi Bill,
I agree the others. I started my RV in a very small 2
car garage that had 1 car in it. It was fine for the
emppenage, wings and fuselage would have been possible
but I'm only 15 minutes from my hangar so moved there.
Things to think about are: is the space big enough to
house a wing and or fuselage and still have room for a
work bench, tools and your plans and instructions? If
so you will be ok until final assembly.
Bear in mind a discussion that took place in this
forum about 5 years ago concluded that when you get
ready get your fuselage on its gear and hang the
engine your about 1/2 done.

My gap seal run from rear of the top skin all the way around to rear of the bottom
skin. I have not attached them with any adhesive and they stay in position.
I can get photos if you wish.

I'm trying to figure out how the rubber seal between the wing gap seal and the
fuselage is terminated along the bottom of the fuselage. I'm building a 9 tailwheel
so there is no main gear fairing to cover the termination.
Do any of you tailwheel builders have suggestions on how to do this or perhaps
a picture. Also, is it appropriate or necessary to glue the rubber seal to the
gap seal? If so, with what?
Thanks,
Bill

John,
Thanks and if it's not too much trouble I would like to see what it
looks like on the bottom of your plane.
Bill

Take it from a guy that learned the hard way. Pick your assembly spot
and stick with it as much as possible. I started in a small garage,
moved to the 2 car at my house, then my shop and finally after the
fuselage, wings and everything were done and painted, moved to my
hanger. Like my grandfather said "3 moves are as bad as a fire". I
know that I'm not the most organized guy in the world, but after 4
locations, it really gets tough to find things sometimes. The airpalne
parts, for the most part, weren't so tough, it was tools and hardware,
etc.
The other thing is once you start, don't stop. Its like going to
church. If you go every sunday, its just a natural thing, but if you
stop for a while, it's tough to get back in the habit again, and tough
to remember where you left off.

I had my tools split between my hanger and home workshop and ended up buying
2 of almost everything to stay productive. The wings and empennage can be
built it a pretty small space, just make sure you can get them out.
Anything is possible, but driving 40 miles there and back is pretty
unproductive time except for mind planning. I would go for it and get your
empennage and wings done, then make a decision of your fuselage based on
that experience. Good luck. Carl

Subject: RV9-List: 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
bring a assembly at a time home to work on it. My shop is small but may
hold a fuselage or wing (s).
Can you reasonably finish a major assembly at a time? Final assembly in the
hangar would be easy, but, how far can you go before you have to be working
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.

Thanks to all who took the time to reply. Your input is valuable.
Your answers remind me of a statement I read several years ago. " The firs
t 90% of the construction is not too difficult, but the other half will rea
lly test you."
Thanks again.

I would like the groups opinion on my situation. I have had to move approxi
mately 40 miles from my hangar. Would it be feasible to store the majority
of the parts in the hangar and bring a assembly at a time home to work on
it. My shop is small but may hold a fuselage or wing (s). Can you reasonab
ly finish a major assembly at a time? Final assembly in the hangar would b
e easy, but, how far can you go before you have to be working on the whole
to finish. I can measure the spaces, but do not know if the concept is work
able. How many extra hours would this add? Any opinions would be appreciat
ed.
