We didn't get everything we really needed in our first Avery order. We thought we could wait on some things, well we were wrong. We were really suffering from a case of builder's waiting complex....this is defined as a time when you just CAN'T proceed without tools you thought you didn't need right away. We placed an order with US Tools and started the LONG wait....not really THAT long but it seemed like forever.

In a moment of clear thinking we realized this was really a good thing, it meant that we were Flying (pardon the pun) through the Empennage kit!

We needed more clekoes desperately, a hand squeezer for the ribs and other assorted stuff (sorry I am just drawing a blank on what it was). We got the clekoes on Saturday, but the Squeezer was back ordered!!! Grr......

Well we got the skins clekoes over the ribs and then drilled everything, but without the hand squeezer we were still holding.

I am sorry there is only a single photo but while working in the Garage in flip flops I got bitten by Something and got a nice infection on the top of my foot. :-(

It was SO miserably hot that day that we kept the garage door open after dark and that's when all the bugs started coming in and I got bitten.

In reality we got both skins on and drilled, but I couldn't get a photo....I will get one after we get it back together and get it up here eventually.
