Jeez, it's been nine days since I've put a new post out for the RV, and that's way too long! For the past few days Dad and I have been preparing the rest of the ribs and have gotten them all ready to be primed. We're trying to build up a pretty good sized pile just so we can knock a lot of the priming out at once. Since this'll be the first time we use our spray gun (we've been using cans of self etching primer) we want to make sure we have enough parts to make it an efficient process. Dad banged out most of the rib preparation and I helped him when I could. I've been working quite a bit lately and going to school and I've been having a hard time to put into the project. But this semester is almost over and I'll have more time!
Also, we were able to construct the wing jig. The thing is as sturdy as a house, and it came out very straight. We used lumber to construct ours, and it's a shame that this won't have much use once the wing is done, but it'll serve it's purpose. We've been contemplating on how to do our conduit holes in the ribs and we've decided we're going to use 3/4" thin-walled PVC pipe. We picked up three 10' pieces at Lowe's yesterday, but they must have been marked wrong because they're 1"! Oh well, a quick return and we'll be back in business. Hopefully we'll be able to prime soon and get the wing set on the jig!
