Stjohn's RV-7

6 hours.
Finished cutting and drilling the seat backs, they are now all put together with clecos and sitting in the plane. Of course, I did Shelley’s first, just to be polite, then mine. I’m almost done with the tunnel cover, but I need to brush up on my measuring skills, because even double checking, it didn’t fit quite right until after I’d worked it with various abrasives and cutters. but that’s almost ready to go. I figure, when i start back in on the project after an absence, it’s best to do small, cheap things to start, off, just to get the chops back. And if theyre things that don’t require drilling or cutting on the QB airframe, even better.
I also cut down my sawhorses to lower the main longeron to waist height, which helps a lot. Originally I was going to have a friend help, but the fuse is still light enough where I could pick it up by the firewall and have Shelley move the cut-down sawhorse under the main spar, then shuffle the original short one back to the tail. Next, I think, is the pedals or the flap weldment.
