Hello, World!

Getting Started:
After years of dreaming, I've finally started my adventure in building an RV-14a.  I'm still working full time, so the project will largely be a weekend and vacations deal.  All told, I expect this project to take a significant amount of time to complete.

Initial Setup:
I've started by expanding my tool kit.  This includes some of the nice-to-haves like DRDT-2, multiple EAA 1000 tables, lots of extra cleco's, and a pneumatic squeezer.


Unboxing:
The Saia delivery wasn't too difficult.  Note to self, buy some better snips than the ones from Harbor Freight.


After an initial inventory, all the sub-kits appear to be in order.  Unfortunately, the sun was setting and temperatures were dropping, so the full inventory will have to wait.

Off to the Races

Vans Practice Kit and Starting the Vertical Stabilizer: Every year, gearheads from around the world congregate at the Circuit of the Americas track for Moto GP.  My best friend, being one such gearhead, came to Austin to enjoy the races and experience the area.  While he was here, we ended up heading to the hangar to try our hand at building some airplane (practice) parts.  We ended working through to step 6 of the practice kit, attaching and match drilling the skins to the 7 before it was time to head back. The following week, I spent a few hours making some more progress on the kit, rounding out the build by wrapping up just before riveting the flanges and trailing edge. I also ordered a few more parts, and finally embedded a back rivet plate into one of the workbenches I've been holding off on picking up a back rivet plate only because I hoped I could source a cold-rolled steel plate locally.  As it turned out, the ease of simply ordering one online outweigh

An Air Show and Some Tables

Inventory Finished: Despite diligently getting my flu shot this year, someone at my office brought in a case of the flu. A lazy day of cold medicine and soup warmed me up and set me right, so off to the hangar I went. Skins, spars, and rivets oh my! A few hours later, and after shooting the breeze with Mr. Peck, who deserves an introduction at a later date, I was able to finish the inventory process.  According to Vans, I’ve got all the bits and pieces I should have. EAA Fly-in and BBQ: One of the perks of slowly becoming an airport bum is that I get to experience the local airport fare.  This weekend saw beautiful weather, Texas BBQ, and the smell of avgas.  It was a great time, and an excellent opportunity to rub elbows with other builders and enthusiasts. A real life VeriEze! Wouldn't be an air show without a Stearman! Last but not least, one of many RV's Finished with the Carpentry (for now): After recovering from a busy week, I spent a fe

Finalized Shop Setup, Built a Toolbox

Image
Finished shop setup... for now: My hope was to have completed Van's toolbox project last week, but getting all the bench tools assembled, mounted, and tested took longer than expected.  Much like the week before, the only productive day this weekend was Sunday.  After picking up a bench grinder, and assorted mounting hardware, I made my way to the hangar.  I started by assembling and positioning the tools where I thought they would be best placed, and then traced out and drilled mounting holes for each.  I then tested each by powering them on and waiting for the explosion. I must have spent an hour figuring out how to set up that band saw. This time around, I thought I would experiment with a time-lapse setup with my old GoPro.  I was able to record the entire session with a new 128GB card, and I'll edit and upload it to YouTube when I get the chance. Built the Van's Toolbox Kit: Confident that I wasn't going to lose a finger to the band saw unless it
