Ed

Yep, that'= s pretty much the way it is.  Theoretically it's all done except for painting the cowl (which is already fitted) and some of the other fiberglass pieces and plumbing the fuel system but unexpected last minute details can take weeks. 

Current example: 

I decided that I wanted the optional aileron trim system so I ordered the kit (cheap - $60) from Van's.  Rats, its stock location interf= eres with the BlueMountain auto-pilot servo (which took 2 weeks to layout and install so it ain't going to move.   Had to redesign several = details of the trim system.  Poof - 2 precious weeks burned up.

Now I'm ready to start where I left off, installing the gear leg intersection fairings.  The plane is turning out better than expected so the crude fairings I made 3 years ago stick out like sore thumbs.  If I put them on I know I'll never change them so I'll have to make better ones.  I foresee 2 more weeks burned up on these small pieces.<= br>
And so it goes.

I checked out some of the pictur= es posted from this years "round up" (thanks for that) and it appears = from them that Tracy's RV-8 has made quite a bit of progress since last year= (when I attended the round up).  

 

So a question to those of you wh= o saw it up close and personal...what does it still lack prior to knocking out = a first flight? 

 

Cowling?  Final Electrical = hook ups? 

 

Just curious...
