Construction Prep

I have been thinking about building a homebuilt aircraft for quite some time, but have just started to pursue it seriously.  I attended a SportAir Workshop for RV construction in February (highly recommended), which was the first time I had ever driven solid rivets.  We built a small airfoil section, and aside from a ding in one of the skins from a slipped bucking bar, I was fairly pleased with the results.  I have two more practice projects to work on after my workshop is complete, one airfoil and one toolbox from Van's, which are sure to help improve my riveting skills. I've also been reviewing the preview plans for the RV-7, which contain some very important information (Section 3 and 5) on the procedures used during the construction process.
