I love reading all the posts from those who have finished and are flying and making modifications, but it sure was nice to talk to someone I met through this list who is just getting started like I am. I spoke with Dave from MN for awhile on the phone and it was nice to hear him thinking about some of the same things I am. I am learning as I go. I just spent two hours measuring the 88" spar for the HStab and I am off 1/8" on the last hole. Now my measuring is getting better, but obviously needs some improvement. I don't mind spending two hours measuring and re-measuring, but in the end I want it to be right. I just read in Jack Lambie's book that 4 or 5 hours after laying up the fiberglass I should trim the excess. I wish I would have read that before. I let some overhang completely cure and now I am using sheet metal sheers to cut the excess. I am still loving it.
