Build Diary 07/08/09-October-05
Friday evening, completed rudder leading edge.
Saturday,
just a few hours in the workshop. Most spent trying to find the rod ends to fit to the rudder.
I finally found some so I could fit the rudder for the first time.
Sunday. Jo is away
today so I have spent most of the day working on the RV - just a quick trip to Popham in the
afternoon to look at RV's! I have managed to fit nearly all the fiberglass endcaps to the
empannage (Rudder, HS & Elevators). They need some filler to finish but its been a good days
work. I have heard some builders leave these as they are not much fun. I thought they went
quite well. ** RV7 needs to have the skin trimmed for the mass balance weight to fit, did give me a shock at first - thought I had done something wrong.
