I got a lot of shipments today: Steel for jigs, plasma cutter, welding tools, empennage kit.
I got the new camera yesterday so I pictures start today. I'll catch up with pictures of the stuff I've already received and my workshop as well
I inventoried the empennage kit and all is well. Given how quickly the empannage was shipped, I guess Van's is used to requests to substitute 0.020 skins for the elevators and rudder (usually 0.016). The up-charge for it wasn't too much either: ~$45 for all three skins.
I've got some other stuff to take care of this week but I hope to study the plans and start preparing parts by this weekend.
Steel for jigs
Cheap plasma cutter
Welding helmet. I've never used an auto-darkening one before.
