Hi I am thinking about starting this big project of building my own plane. Still have some basic questions.
For the standard rv 7 kits, Do I need to drill any hole ? I thougnt that all the kit is pre-punched, but then I see many builders that are using a dimpling tool, so its not clear to me if it is really needed or I can trust that I will find all the "matching" holes I need already in place??
Another question has to do with priming, in vans webpage it states:
"Many of the steel components are now powder-coated at the factory, sparing the builder the tedious task of preparing, priming and painting them".
But again I see many builders logs that do actually prime their parts, so I am confused, do I need to buy all the priming tools? or that is something that is already done in factory?
Thanks in advance for your information!
