New guy here! Just ordered my 7 empennage kit! Very excited to finally start the build. Will be a slow start but glad to have a place to document and ask for help! The next few weeks I?ll be getting my garage ready and building my tool collection.

Thanks I?m advanced for any and all help!
 
Welcome Steve! Good to have you here. Have you decided on primer yet? It?s humid here the empennage need a good coat of primer. :)
 
Spent the last week finishing up the shop and organizing all the little parts. Hoping this saves me time and trouble down the line.

Has been a busy few weeks getting my feet wet with the build. I started on the rear and front spars. While drilling relief hole for the front spar, for some reason I had 3/4 in my head instead of 1/4. As a was drilling I knew something was not right. I should have stopped then and double checked.

While waiting for a replacement, I moved onto the vertical stabilizer. Everything is all match drilled and ready to be primed.

Looking good and a very nice clean work area! Good idea...I have struggled a bit with a tidy work area. Keep up the good work!
