Hi all,
I just had to comment on a milestone in my project.
I have been working on a very slow build RV-6 for more years than I care to mention and progress has been slow and at times nonexistent.
But finally, after a very productive couple of weeks, I have both fuel tanks pro-sealed. This is after many years of procrastination and fretting over the task. It feels good to achieve these steps even if it does take years to get there. In the end you wonder why you put it off so long. Messy-absolutely. Hard-not really! The idea of doing it was the worst thing.
I have always monitored this list and the topics discussed over the years and it has helped to keep me informed and interested in my project.
Now-on to the Fuselage!

I just came across a web site with a trick Ernest Hemmingway used for writing…but it could be used for any long project.
http://www.secondactive.com/2009/08/boost-your-productivity-with-hemingways.html
“The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.”

Dave, I just ordered my finishing kit, I should have done it the day after Thanksgiving, procrastination is our real enemy. I have been thinking about the engine and I should have just went ahead and ordered the finishing kit. I think if I spent more time on the project and less time on worrying, I would be much better off! Grad on the fuel tanks, it is a milestone.

How about 16 years, Dave? My RV-6A is in the finishing stages now, wiring and canopy to go. If I could really focus I might have it flying by next fall.
By the way, I grew up in Caldwell. How is the weather? I am currently in AZ.

You got me by a few years (3 to be exact)!
Weather is warmer (50 degrees F.) but windy today.

DAVE:CONGRATULATIONS RE COMPLETION OF THE FUEL TANKS - THAT'S A BIG ONE. IT TOOK MY WIFE AND ME SIX WEEKS TO DO BOTH TANKS. STAY WITH IT. ONE LITTLE SUB ELEMENT AT A TIME AND, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY COME TOGETHER INTO AN AIRPLANE. IT TOOK US 6.5 YEARS TO GET IT FLYING AND ANOTHER 5+ MONTHS TO FINISH OFF THE FAIRINGS. IT'S DONE NOW AND FLYING BEAUTIFULLY.
GOOD BUILDING!

I'm right there with you guys, first kit delivery (non pre-punched) in
1996. Working on the roll-bar....well, "working" is a loose term. Life
got in the way.

Hey Mike-I remember your name and have used your website now and then over
the years when I needed some.
I hear you on the 'life getting in the way' thing. I have had many things
get in my way but my faithful project is always waiting right where I left
it ready to go whenever I get back at it!
