Sonex Build Video 78 - Finishing Fuselage Sides

Back at the Sonex. I am working on the fuselage sides of the plane and trying to get them finished so I can mount them to the aft fuselage and hang the firewall.

Hi Danial ... keep on the good work, you are doing great.
Danial could please provide provide a link to the video where you installed both the vertical and horizontal Tail ... it is very important to me ... because I might forced to take them out in a sonex Tri gear that I am buying and need to transport it in a 26 foot U haul truck ... otherwise I would have to saw off the fiberglass tail tips .. I appreciate it

Cool... but I had to take a shower after watching the video.

[@danielolivermcelroy8320]

I had to after making the video! ;)

I’m kicking the tires on one of these builds.
without going too in depth, what kind of tools does a guy have to realistically invest into?

[@danielolivermcelroy8320]

It's hard to say, but I would guess you need about $1,500 in certain tools. But you can also borrow them. I will have to "solid rivet" my spar and I am borrowing a pneumatic riveter and bucking bar. Hope that helped. -Dan

@@danielolivermcelroy8320 that does help, thanks for the response!
I’m looking forward to seeing this done! Keep plugging away, you got this.
