It's too cold to do any building in Minnesota but with the RV-12 emp kit arrival, at least I got to finish up the inventory. I still have some tools to buy although, since I already built an RV-7A, I don't have the problem of a big initial cash outlay.
The only problem was damaged rudder skin, even though it was nested securely inside the horizontal stabilizer skin. Possibly damage at the factory or while crating. I've sent a message off to Van's.
