 |
|
On my rebuild project I have started to actually build parts instead of removing and examining. I have no builders log so far and wondered what type of logs are nescessary / desirable. When I got this plane I got all the documentation from the original build but they don't add up to a diary of the build so much as a collection of correspondance with other builders, denney/skystar and such. If there was ever a "diary" type log such as I've seen on the web. I don't have it.
Also missing after the damage is the logbook, so I'll have to start from scratch as I rebuild.
What types of logs do people keep. What am I obligated to keep, what is desirable to keep?

Dave G,
A lot of folks just keep it simple with a spiral bound notebook or a steno pad
- I use a steno pad, the left side to indicate the date & time on task
(hours) so I can find it easily, then what I did on the right side. Its just
a cronological record. When I need more space - just get a second steno pad.
Bottom line - legal stuff, if a person has the following questions answered in
whatever format you use it will be just fine: What was done, the date it was
done and who did it. If you are the only one doing it - no big deal. If you
have someone else do something - worthy of making a note of it.
There is some merit to having a bound book, spiral or otherwise, because
nobody can accuse a person of taking pages out and putting other pages in
their place.
As far as what is desireable - I notate little tricks I figured out to do
certain tasks, any modifications from the kit, also classify each task as to
what sub-assembly I was working on (Fuse, wing, landing gear etc) - just
think about what you will want to know in the future when you want to look it
up. I do not believe in overdoing it - I want to build a plane, not a russian
novel.
OK,,,OK! I also put together a searchable database which I have everything
entered in. That way I can look stuff up (like how many hours I worked on the
left wing - or genuinely useful stuff like where I bought the left hand
hoochiframus used in fabricating a part for the trim bracket). In this case,
the logic of what I want to find is driving the structure of the database.
Sincerely,
