Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! Sunday, June 5th, 2011. They say that in the process of building the aircraft, it actually gets put together and taken apart about 3 times. Well – this will be the first… Today I got the horizontal stabilizer skeleton taken apart for deburring the spars & all of the holes that have been drilled to size. Not much to [.].

Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! New tools and light deburring. Wednesday, June 8th, 2011. In order to avoid progressing too quickly and running out of things to do before I can buy more parts, I am intentionally slowing down my process on the project. I still plan on regular build sessions, they are probably just going to be scaled back a bit to around 3-4 hours a week or [.]. Continue reading about New tools and light deburring.

Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! Friday, June 3rd, 2011. Tonight’s session was spent final drilling the horizontal stabilizer ribs to the spars. Nothing difficult, though it does take a bit of time to get to all the holes. It is a bit tricky to drill the holes through the nose ribs. I ended up opening up the flange that connects to the spar for [.]. Continue reading about Drilling ribs. Posted in Horizontal Stabilizer. No comments yet, be the first. Thursday, June 2nd, 2011.

Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! Horizontal Stabilizer – Ribs. Nitehawk on May 30th, 2011. For today’s efforts, I started by finishing up the horizontal stabilizer attach bracket shaping. While they aren’t perfect, they do look pretty good. I’m planning to take them to the next EAA chapter 12. Meeting to have some of the experienced builders look them over and get some feedback before doing the hole layout on them. Session time: 5 hours Session: 6. Click here to cancel reply.

Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! Fluting ribs – part 2. Wednesday, June 1st, 2011. After doing some more research and finding a more efficient fluting method, I returned to the fluting efforts for the horizontal stabilizer ribs. While most were pretty close already, they did need a little adjustment to get them nice and flat. Basically the idea is to lay them web side down on a hard flat [.].

Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! And so the building begins…. Nitehawk on May 29th, 2011. After much study over the past several months, and a bit of just setting parts together in various spots to see how they fit together, the build process has finally started. Step one in section 6 starts with assembling the forward spar of the horizontal stabilizer, then match drilling all the punched holes. Its shiny and nice! Session time: 2.5 hours Session: 5.

After doing some more research and finding a more efficient fluting method, I returned to the fluting efforts for the horizontal stabilizer ribs. While most were pretty close already, they did need a little adjustment to get them nice and flat. So now I have a nice stack of pretty flat ribs. Tomorrow I can make a couple shims and put together the skeleton for the horizontal stabilizer. You must be logged in.

Matthew's RV-9A » First horizontal stabilizer skeleton assembly
http://www.mattshangar.info/2011/06/02/first-horizontal-stabilizer-skeleton-assembly
Matthew's RV-9A - Time to build an airplane! First horizontal stabilizer skeleton assembly. Nitehawk on June 2nd, 2011. After match drilling the shims to the forward spar, all the ribs can be cleco’d into position. With all the ribs cleco’d between the spars, the horizontal stabilizer actually starts looking like a real airplane part. There’s still lots. To be done before its finished, but its certainly a good feeling to see assemblies start to take shape! Session Time: 1 hour Session: 9.
