A status call was cancelled at 4:30 and I decided that I had had enough...off to the hangar! If traffic is light, I just might make it in time to catch the sunset. I just had the camera on the phone, but....traffic was light!! more pics ● From Sebring ...factory FB page VAF Calendar 45 Days Out      Add Single, All Day Event.   Add Ranged (day or hour) Event        Please format subject line like this when adding events: (ST) City: short description   Model-specific forum activity....just RVs.

I am building my ailerons and I had just finished cleco'ing a large portion of my right aileron together. I decided this looks so easy I'll do left and right together, it'll save some time when I get to the left wing. Looking around the shop I couldn't find a horizontal surface suitable for this brief storage task. My eye finally caught the luggage rack on my wifes 4-Runner. Perfect! I'll just put it there *temporarily* while I assemble the left aileron. This won't take more than 20-minutes. You probably already see where this going.  continue In The Shop.... ● Wanted-Tips on how to work clean and neat I seem to have a clutter monster that follows me around leaving clutter in its wake. With the RV-3B kit on order, I've been thinking that it would sure be nice to work in a clean shop. But I know that there will be shavings to be cleaned up and plenty of tools that are all needed to be at hand. Help! Suggestions wanted.   Some Replies: My high school shop teacher taught us we had to clean up the shop in the last 5 minutes of the class. Clean up the lathe, clean up the drill press, clean up the bench, because there was another class starting right after ours Have a dedicated place for all of your tools and if its not a drill, rivet gun, measure device or squeezer always put it back in its place at the end of the day. Also, shop vac and wipe down before the lights go out http://home.hiwaay.net/~sbuc/journal/smart.html Building in a typical 2-car garage space, I have a wall-mounted shop vac (Sears) so it doesn't take up scarce floor space. I got a remote-controlled on/off switch; it plugs into the wall outlet, then the vac plugs into that. During a work session I turn ON the vac's switch so the on/off remote will control it. Then doing some messy task (drilling, sanding, cutting, whatever), I can easily vacuum up the mess by leaving the vac hose near that work area and turn it on and off with the remote. By making it easier to use the vac, I use it more, so there's less mess. Clutter: I don't put many tools away in the middle of a task that spans several days. But at the end of a big task, I'll take half an hour and put all the tools away, leaving my single work table mostly clear. Sometimes you'll start multiple, simultaneous tasks, each with its own collection of small parts. I got several cheap plastic sorting trays from Harbor Freight and find them invaluable not for sorting, but for keeping each tasks bits and pieces in one place, at the task site (work table, wings, fuse..). more Safety ● Audio: MU2 Emergency Severe Icing Talkdown Through a Valley   Thrift ● FS- Instruments + Vacuum ● New Year's Extras (Garmin, PSE, etc.) Totally Off Topic Previous VAF News
