I decided to try something new tonight. I had a Google “Hang Out” going while I was working on the elevators.
Google Hangout is basically a group video chat. I put the word out on Van’s Airforce and the Matronics RV10 list that I’d be doing this… and that they should stop by to say hi.
It went… OK. I started out the hangout with it open to anyone. I quickly got a full room (it supports 9 people), unfortunately none of them spoke English. I learned my lesson and had to set the hangout to only be open to friends. I did get to meet two fellow RV’ers, Ian and Glen (HumptyBump on VAF). Ian is building an -8 and Glen is flying an -8. It was great meeting and talking to both of them. Ian is also putting together an air rally that you should check out at http://findlayairrally.com/
Aside from socializing, I did get a little done on the elevators.
I managed to get the front spars riveted to the ribs, and I managed to drill out the rivets that I wasn’t supposed to put into one side of the rear spar. After the skin slip-up, these few rivets were nothing to take out.
