RV12 stallwarning switch

Today, May 31st, we worked on the stallwarning switch. Be very careful on installing the platenuts as there are two different sizes and we only received screws to fit the larger plate. We had to drill out the smaller platenuts and replace them with the size that fit our screws. We also went ahead and ran wires instead of the string through the ribs, in the event that they allow us to place lights on the wings. Also, the plans called for a 'Section 30" in the construction manual and we couldn't figure out what Vans was talking about.
Here are some of today's pics.

Second day building RVq

Well, this was our second day and I think we're on page 14-2; we did the wing spar sub-assembly. It's going pretty quickly; we had some problems with the hydraulic rivet puller so we had to pull rivets by hand. We worked from 2:30 to 7 this evening. Today is May 19, 2008.
I'll try to post some more movies tomorrow.
thanks

RV12 Wing Arrival

Well, the wing kit finally arrived and with the help of a very strong and helpful deliveryman, I was able to unload the wings and put them in the "hangar". Someone said that 2 men could easily handle the shipment but they must have meant that the men should be (1) younger than 60, or (2) weightlifters. My deliveryman was the latter.
Anyway, the delivery was on May 16th and today, my building partner and I completed the inventory process. It took us about 2 hours to demolish the shipping crates and count all the items. Incidently, the smaller of the box can be made into an adequate sized work table.
Van's used duct tape to secure and package the parts (they did a great job) but you've got to be careful in removing the tape in that it tends to pull off the plastic film from the wings.
Here are a couple of photos (I hope, since I've never used this service before) of the process of unloading and restacking the boxes.
