Almost done with inventory! Being on the road all the time is not helping but I'm getting there...

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single AN3-4A bolt."
I'm sure someone's already told you this, but my advice is to leave it all in the sub-kit boxes it came in. It makes parts easy to find when you need them.

Thanks, Brian. Yes I had schemed up all sorts of ways to organize and store the parts but I did realize as I took my inventory that KFA took care of that already!
I have also been working on my 2 car garage which was only an exterior shell that was built back in 1936, to convert it into a workable shop. Installing insulation, boarding up the interior wall with OSBs, updating the electrical system, etc., etc. Also, before I can dive into building the plane, I will still have to build a shed to reduce the clutter in my 2 car garage.. There is just way too much "stuff" in there... Phew, so much to do!

Terry, the progress looks good.
The moving blanket in the background looks familiar.

I purchased a bench-top drill press by WEN yesterday. I put it on a tool stand which sits on top of a wheeled base so that it can be moved around easily as floor layout needs change. (I have only a two car garage.) Also, I've had it for a year but I have acquired a new air compressor. The previous one was hideously loud so I went with a scroll compressor from Eastwood though it was a little pricey. It is amazing how quiet it is!! You can literally have a normal conversation right next to it while it is running. It is only 30 gallons in size but it has a 100% duty cycle so I have a high hope.

Today, I fitted all elevator ribs and they are ready for the stiffeners to be glued on.

Ive been here for what, 4 years. I have this problem as do gobs of others. Im not sure there is a fix. I use both platforms but I can't say I recall one has the problem or if it is both, to be honest.

Cut foams and bonded them to the HS and elevator ends.

To speed up the Hysol metering and mixing process a little bit, I took a couple of syringes and filled them each with a Hysol part. This made measuring much easier and cleaner than directly scooping out of the cans.

Hey Terry,
I didn't see it mentioned in your thread what covering system you had selected.
I heard the factory foam you are bonding will not withstand the Oratex solvent very well.
Just a word of caution if you were thinking of going that direction. Others have used balsa instead.
Cheers.
