Not all of the parts were brought over from the production facility so once I finished the inventory I rode over to the factory and sat down with Ken to go over the missing parts. Most of the missing items were already boxed up and ready to ship. A couple items were on backorder. The few remaining missing parts (it&#8217;s possible that I used them and forgot to mark them off) he just grabbed them out of inventory. No questions asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">I also found out that the wings would not be ready for transport for two weeks. My plan was to have Travis arrive on 2\/18 with the airplane and stay for a couple days to help get started with the strakes. After the two weeks in the middle of February, I&#8217;m not going to have much time to dedicate to the build until the 10th of March. Frustrating. But since it&#8217;s a two year project (hah!), three weeks isn&#8217;t that much of a setback&#8230; I guess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I did get to actually do some work on my wings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Here I&#8217;m fitting the pocket for the rudder bellcrank earlier in my visit.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/2008-01-26-IMG_2056-Large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/2008-01-26-IMG_2056-Large-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"2008-01-26 IMG_2056 (Large)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">By the time I was packing up to leave, we had finished glassing the wings and winglets and the lower winglet is being attached.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2008-02-01-IMG_5908.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2008-02-01-IMG_5908-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"2008-02-01 IMG_5908\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2008-02-01-IMG_5911.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2008-02-01-IMG_5911-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"2008-02-01 IMG_5911\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Considering that with the fastbuild option, my amount of work on the plane is 51%, having worked on the wings puts me well over 51%. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pps-series-post-details pps-series-post-details-variant-classic pps-series-post-details-4068 pps-series-meta-excerpt\" data-series-id=\"41\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-content\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-text\">This entry is part 28 of 28 in the series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velocity-xl.com\/blog\/series\/00-preparation\/\">00 - Prep\/Logistics<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><p>My last day at the Builders Center.
