John’s RV-10 N798HJ

So the wings are here now.  I got them on the 10th of July, but it was my 11 year anniversary weekend so not much time to work on them.  I was able to get the kit unpacked and put away.  I also built the leading edge cradles and broke down all the crates.  On Sunday I started to work on the left main spar some.  One thing I noticed was how much harder the directions are to understand on the wings than the tail cone, it is going to take some community help to get through some of this.

I finished up all I planed to on the empanage last  week.  I am waiting for the fiberglass and wiring until I put the whole thing together.  It was really great to see the whole thing together.  The rudder and elevator bolts take some patience to get on but other than that it all just bolts together.  I order the wings on Friday and Saturday got a letter from Vans letting me know they will ship the week of June 22.  I hope to get my honey do list done by then and get the garage on order to build the wings.  I want to get the wing cradle done before they arrive as well.  Started to move parts of the empanage to my parents house for storage and put some parts I am keeping at my house away from kids reach.  I am going to miss riveting for a while, but need to break to get things done around the house.
