Sorted all the rivets and hardware from the bags they arrived in into the parts organizers I picked up. Used the Dymo Rhino to label everything.
Added the wing and options plans to the plans binder.
Rearranged the shop and re-covered the work benches with new paper.
Unwrapped the spars and put them up on the work benches.
Ready to build!

I completed the inventory with all the small parts and bags of hardware and rivets. I was missing two items: FL-1006, a bundle of 4 doublers for the flaps, and Bag 3010-1. I did however receive two bags 3011-1. So I’m guessing there was a picking error since the items extra item number was consecutive to the missing one. The FL-1006 bundle was part of a sub-kit. All the other parts were in the sub-kit except for that one. I emailed Van’s. I’m sure they’ll send those items right along.
Met up with the gang at the EAA Chapter 268 meeting out at PUJ this morning and then did some flying with Jared in his RV-14A. We flew up to GMU for lunch with Adam and Ryan, a couple of nice young guys working on their ratings at PDK. Here’s an air to air pic of them in their school’s arrow on the way back to PDK.
Thanks for the stick time, Jared!

Uncrated and unwrapped all of the wing parts. Started inventory. Everything seems to have arrived undamaged.
It’s like Christmas morning here!

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted anything here. I assure you this is not due to loss of interest. Rather its due to a lack of parts. I just received a bill of lading from ABF. So shipping of my wing kit is imminent. Last time it took about a week for it to arrive. Looking forward to getting back into the shop.
I’ll definitely order the fuselage kit further ahead!
