I believe I have just about completed my priming research. There sure is a lot said on the topic. Most people (not everyone) believe that all internal airframe components should be primed for long term corrosion resistance. This is what I believe our priming process will be:
I received the pneumatic rivet squeezer that I got on ebay ($180). It looks a little rough, but with a little TLC I think it will probably do the trick. I guess we’ll see once I get some rivets to squeeze.

So we’ve decided to build an airplane. This decision comes from over ten years of off and on flying rental aircraft.

So, the long awaited preview plan set / construction manual arrived today. This gives the best view of what exactly it is that we are preparing to build. Tanya did some more organization today in prep for having to store airplane parts.
I’m still working out the details of the build log.
Currently, we’re planning on using an Eggenfellner Subaru firewall forward engine package. I think Jan explains why very well on his website.
