Today I did some solo riveting and trimming on the aft end of the fuselage. Here I am using a dremel tool to trim the rudder stops. After the rough cut, I used a small die grinder w/a scotchbrite wheel to polish things up. The same deal went into trimming the Upper longerons shown near the bottom of the pic(remember we're inverted). I have a partner coming over Monday to help finish up the side skins. On a side note- I'm getting close to the famed "Canoe Stage"!
The following is a brief and simple description of my construction of a Vans RV8 aircraft. Scroll down to the labels for a complete log of each section. Enjoy! -JT *This blog is for entertainment purposes only* *DREAM IT, BUILD IT, FLY IT*
