Visit to Van's Aircraft to see the RV-7 as an option to build it. After landing from the test flight with the RV-7 I saw the RV-9A in the hangar and at that very moment I decided that this is the ONE.
 

Ordered the Empennage and Wing kits
 

Tal

The Empennage and Wing kits arrived. Box 4 has an outside minor damage. ( the parts inside are O.K) 
Packing List
 

Moved to a house with a large yard and the most important a big warehouse with a excellent potential to become a nice workshop.
 

Tal

Converting the warehouse into a workshop.
1 - Electricity work, More lights, more outlets.
2 - Covering the inside walls and ceiling with plaster plates and thermal/acoustic isolation plates between them and the outside walls. 
3 - Ordering and installing all the inside furniture needed for a workshop. (tables, shelf etcetera)
4 - Ordering and installing all standard machinery (drilling machine, clamp, strip saw, compressor etcetera)

In the right elevator we followed the instruction and rivet the E-903/904/913 assembly to the E-902 spar that was already riveted to the top skin, as a results we had an hard time riveting the AN470AD4-4. In the left elevator we changed the order and rivet the E-903/904/913 assembly to the E-902 spar before riveting the spar to the top skin.
