Shawn Li's RV-7 Construction Log

02-26-2012: 6 hrs

I started off the day by assembling the stall warner sub-assembly. Then installed the sub-assembly to the mounting bracket. I had to buy a crimper from Harbor Freight in order to bolt the ground wire to the assembly. After clecoing the stall warner in place, I clecoed the inboard rib, with the joint splice, to the skin. Then spend the rest of the day riveting the leading edge. Everything is built to plan.
