Now I know why the baggage compartment on the RV-7 is so big: so you can fit all the tools you need while you're building it!

Lots of little parts, none too difficult.

And a lot of nutplates. By the end of this, I'll be really good at installing them. Now, though, half of them end up poorly centered on the bolt hole. These were prepunched holes, so they're no-brainers, but there are some that are "do-it-yourself," and I have a 50% batting average on those.

The flap actuator loads go through this little plate, so I'm paying attention!
