Try Ebay

You can try Ebay for the punches.
I bought a 2 1/4 for 35$, but don't be in a hurry.
I also found a 1" and a 1 1/8" for only a few bucks.
Search for Greenlee punch or knockout punch.

Me too

I receveid two right flaps skins.
Van's replaced it immediately, the part was then damaged during shipping and they send a replacement.
I also received a wrong bolt bag with my finishing kit (got the right one later and they told me to keep the wrong one; I now have two sets of wing bolts)

Try it on this side Atlantic

Hello all, to cheer you up a bit, why not think about our prices in Europe , at my airport LFPL east of Paris. 1.63€ per liter , so that's at the today's rate : 8.36$ per gallon. Maybe it would make some sense to add long range tanks to my RV to get some 100LL in the US. Well, I'm still building on.

My colors, almost my theme

Hello,

this looks almost like the colors and theme I'm planning for my RV-7A.
I'd like to have a deeper green and maybe some more curvature on the golden part.

Looks very good, I'll keep in in my "Designs I like" folder.

Well this is a timely thread

I'm just finishing my today's work session, and I stumbled on this problem. I tried to buck the small length I had avalaible, thinking that the rivet is only here to keep the part from moving around before the spar gets bolted on but with no luck. I'll add some longer rivets to my next order as I'm ...

ILS

Well I would get rid of the vertical card compass , you have one compass in the EFIS, one standby in the GNSXXX and one on the right side that should be enough. And then you will be able to put the ILS under the EFIS, it has to be in your visual scanning, I think the place you put it is too far on t...

Our website

Have a look here :

http://www.notreavion.net

We're building a RV7A.
And you could try to improve (learn) french as the website comes in two flavors.
