denmit Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I finished the Vertical Stab on my RV-12 yesterday. Great kit from Vans; everything fits and fabrication and assembly is relatively straight forward. On to the rudder next. Denmit
Case Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Hi Denmit, Great work. Have you got a builders log or blog somewhere ? Would be good to see your progress regularly.
ausgee Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Good Job. Amazing stuff the cnc parts. Looking forward to seeing the next bit.
denmit Posted November 3, 2010 Author Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks for the encouragement Thanks all for your encouragement. The bride tells me I have one free weekend between now and the new year, so the rudder photo will be in 2011. I haven't set up a blog, but have lots of pictures to verify that I built the thing, so happy to post those either on the forum or through a PM. I'll post a photo of each completed section as I go. If you're thinking of building something that is RAAus registerable and actually performs (115 knot cruise 1,000+ FPM climb and capacity for 2 people plus luggage over 300 Nm + reserves), the RV-12 is the go. Cheers and thanks again, Denmit

denmit Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 The dollars denmitAny idea on estimated completed $$$$ - it's ok , I am sitting down G'day Jay - well, my budget (including GST, freight, paint and standby instruments) was $100K when the dollar was at 90 cents. It will be a good bit less while ever the dollar sits at parity and providing I can get it all ordered and paid for while the $AUD is strong (or more accurately, the $US weak).
