Mitch's RV-6A Project Photo Album

The Horizontal Stabilizer

Drilling the skins to the spar

The rear spar all riveted up

The HS-614 and HS-610 are fabricated

... and then install on the forward spars

The HS skeleton completed and plumbed

The first skin is cleco'ed on

Ed Cole and my wife Cindy chat about the job

I show off the HS with both skins on

I test the finished product in the front yard!

The Vertical Stabilizer

The VS skeleton goes together quickly

Skins in place

I show the finished VS (but doesn't try to fly it)

The Rudder

I fabricate tons of stiffeners

"The cleco graveyard" - stiffeners cleco'ed to the skin

Everything primed, stiffeners backriveted down, the spar in the foreground

The Quickbuild Kit

The truck is loaded up with the wings, fuselage, and canopy, and hundreds of odds 'n ends.

Safely in the garage. I made a rolling wing caddy.

Here I'm drilling the floor panels on.

Here's something fun - temporarily place my stabilizers on the tail!!!

Getting some time in the RV-6A with Mike Seager

Taxi back after landing. What a kick!

I'm NOT getting out of this plane!
