Section 8 Start: 15.02.2017, Section End: 05.06.2017
Began with the Horizontal Stabilizer (HS). Prepared some Stock (edge deburring, flange straightening) and created two sets of cradles for holding the both HS halfes alligned.
Page 8-1 to Page 8-5
Started again with prepairing the edges, lightning holes and the powder coated HS-912 hinge bracket. Fabricated the HS-1008L+R left and right front spar attachment brackets, which are very critical regarding the hole spacing. As I had a dent in the VS skin I now agressivly rounded out the nose ribs and had no dents to the outside of the skin this time.
Like in the plans I created the jigs for the horizontal stab skin to hold them upright positioned.
Nach dem Entgraten aller Teile des Höhenleitwerks folgt das Bohren der Löcher auf Maß. Jedes Bauteil erhält dadurch seine zugeordnete Position. Anschließend wird nach dem setzen der Bohrungen jedes Bauteil hierfür nummeriert! Dann wird die Baugruppe zerlegt um alle Bohrungen von beiden Seiten zu entgraten.

Hello Peter!
Did you manage to finish building the plane? Found this link but it’s broken: https://rv-10.de/category/001-all-around-flying/section-52-final-inspection-flight-test/
How hard was it to get all the necessary approvals? I’ve read that it’s different with a 4-Pl aircraft compared to a two-seater. Did you work with OUV or with LBA directly?
(I’m a student pilot living in Germany, but i hope to someday build my own airplane, that’s why all the questions)
Regards, Ilya.
Hallo Ilya,
then you can visit me one day.
The kit is now ready to take all the electrics and avionics.
I is not ready yet.
Some things are different for a four place plane when building under the German rules with the LuftfahrtBundesAmt.
I have a very skilled engineer for the paperwork and also one for the practical things while building.
Regards
Peter
