Stjohn's RV-7

2 hours.
Last time we met, I believe I told you the great tale of woe that was my right elevator mistake. Didn’t build last week, we had to put up a fence, which looks beautiful and blocks the view of the neighbor’s laundry drying on the line, plus I had to work, which sucked. Hopefully the overtime will put an extra gizmo or two on the panel. so today I fabbed two angle brackets out of an extra HS spar I had laying around from a previous adventure and drilled them to the outboard ribs and spars. Fortunately, I was bright enough to cleco one side of the skin to the ribs and spar so the angles could be matchdrilled in the proper alignment. It looks like I’ll be able to get this horrific assemblage put together without using AN screws, and though it might be ugly, it should do the job and hold things together safely. I don’t expect to win any show awards with this airplane, I want to go flying. Much thanks to the community at vansairforce.net for showing me a couple of ways out of this pickle, and apologies for reanimating an ancient thread.
Next week is Halloween and I probably won’t get any building done then either, especially since I’m working Saturday and we’re on 10hr days all week. Things should get back to normal in a couple of weeks, and I made sure I had a good pickup point for the next time I can get into the shop.
