Re: Reilly's RV 12
Right wing nearly done now. Just the bottom tip skin to be prepped and fitted as well as the strobe and nav light.
Now if I just remember to feed the strobe wires therough the skin before I solder them to the strobe this time

Re: Reilly's RV 12
At last both wings now finished
Now to wrap the wings and hang them up out of the way, unpack the fuse kit, take stock and make a start.

Re: Reilly's RV 12
Weedy he has actually helped. I think he has put in about an hour or so of work which took me 3 hours to fix
He has actually shown a lot of interest, braais the chops, pours dops and provides intelligent conversation (none of my other mates are able to do this - the conversation part) and he has put in 5 or six rivets.

Re: Reilly's RV 12
Hi CMM
Unfortunately the build was put on hold in Jan. I got divorced and moved into other accommodation which seperated me from my workshop. New workshop should be set up in the next month and the build can continue.
Empenage is done, wings are done and about a third of the way through the fuse. Unfortunately my laptop with all my plane buid pics was stolen (no backup )
Completion date - no fixed timeline. Entering ironman 2014 so expect training going to get in the way somewhat(again).
