The last two days I've spent deburring the skins and breaking the edges for a nice lap joint when they get riveted together. On Saturday I took the morning off and helped my friend Tom to get the maiden flight of his newly finished RV-6A documented. That was well worth getting up at 4:30 AM and spending the morning at Ryan Field. It was a wonderful experience to see the plane getting airborne for the first time and I couldn't help myself but to think of my RV-12 doing this on some day in the next years.
Today I broke the edges and so far I have spent about 8 hours on this tedious prep job. The next steps will be more exciting and will probably be worth taking photos again.
