Joshua's RV-9A Project

Received the letter from Van’s today, indicating the wing kit is expected to ship on the week of June 2.  That’s 9 weeks from date of order.  They sent me a printout of the order with a stamp on it indicating I need to sign and return it to confirm that it is correct–I’ve not heard of that procedure yet, but I’ll take it as an opportunity to amend the order and add a few things to save on shipping/handling.

I’ve upgraded WordPress to version 2.5 tonight, and as a result, the old theme (built for a 2.0.x version) no longer works, along with some special plugins that were running, like category order and the hour totals. So, I will be working to bring those features back online in the near future. Hopefully the WordPress structure will remain the same for the future; apparently, certain things were redone in 2.3 and 2.5. If you find something really broke, please let me know! Thanks…

Temps up near 60 today finally brought an end to the winter hiatus; it’s been too cold to do anything in the unheated shop. Found my place without much trouble, and deburred & dimpled all the components of the left elevator before dinner. Priming will be a task for a calm, warm, dry day, then on to assembly. Which means that the left elevator doesn’t have much work left to wrap up. Then it’s trim tab & trailing edges on all the empennage components (I intend to do all the TE’s at once, since I have only one tube of Proseal).
