FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

tldr: Everyone has something to offer the build team. Please come and help build this airplane. And here I thought I would be useless helping you guys... I know nothing about building airplanes, and my hands shake... As I watched the first batch of paint go in the cup, I was saying to myself, boy, that stuff, IF it comes out of the gun, is going to make a mess... Sorry, not trying to be a wise guy, but 50 years of heavy construction, fabrication, etc., teaches you a thing or two. I can't come help with the build, but if anyone out there thinks they wouldn't be able to contribute, they are wrong. The least of us sometimes see things nobody else sees.

Only touch the side of the disk sander that is traveling down (right side). That way it pushes the part down into the table and is much more stable and easy to control. On the second part you sanded down, you did it on the left side, and that is why it was jumping around. 6th grade wood shop FTW!!!

Again, congrats on the Instrument Rating. I'm proud of you. At 5:33, Perry inspecting the cockpit, and behind him is an engine I would LOVE to see in the RV, even though it'll never fit or happen. But, hey, it's cool to dream! As to two pilots, I don't know if I've told this story on your channel on not. My father, a CFII and another CFII, pre-flighting a Cessna 150. One pilot takes the left side, the other takes the right side. Neither of them took off the rudder gust lock. Fortunately, a 150 can fly very nicely with no rudder, and once they figured it out, came back around, landed and took the gust lock off, and then took off again. But, ONE pilot in command, ONE pilot responsible for the airplane. Especially in a small airplane where two pilots do not normally fly together.

The minor-est of minor nitpicks, but from a human factors perspective writing that ratio as 2:3 instead to 1:1 1/2 would be much less error-prone. It's quite easy to mistake a 1 for a slash and just unconsciously treat it as another divider rather than a digit. In any case, thanks for the wonderful content, and I'm so happy to see the build progressing so well.

Hey, congrats on the IFR rating, Steve! 👍🍻 I spray painted the hood of my '72 El Camino about 20 years ago at my apartment complex in Phoenix. It was about 106°F out, probably 10% relative humidity that day - the paint was nearly completely dry by the time it hit the surface of the hood at about 14" back, which was how I always spray painted back in humid MA. Yep, it was getting fully tacky in the air! This created a finish exactly like 40 grit sandpaper - in fact, it felt just like it! It remained that way for the next 12 years until I sold it. The front edge was smooth, because by that point I had realized I had to hold the can about 4" from the surface to prevent that from happening. 😂 Bonus was, when I pulled out into the hot sun, the paint baked on to a super-durable finish. I had accidentally hit it with brake cleaner many times over the years, and it didn't even touch it. 😁

I made a simular mistake with hardener on 2K paint for a car, that cost me 2 weeks of prep and repaint, not to say a fair amount of cash, for new paint and all the stuff to clean off paint that would not go off! At least yours was on a few part and in the primer stage. Lesson for me is alway do a spray out card first to make sure you have the gun setting and mix right, especially when it comes to top coats.
@MichaelLloyd
@MichaelLloyd 4 года назад
I haven't painted (automotive) in a while but the temperature that you were painting at (you were wearing a cold weather hat) made me pause. The spray gun was old school. The last time I painted anything I used a Binks HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) gun and it was amazing. Good thing you caught the reducer / primer issue early. You want to hold the nozzle perpendicular to what you're spraying not bend your wrist side to side.

@@FlightChops No worries. The gun I used was a Binks SV-100. It's a little pricey but the top cup / gravity feed and very nice paint distribution (saves on sanding time) was so much better than the Binks #7.

I noticed the same thing. I was given the tip that if you can see a reflection then it isn't ready for paint. The surface should be matt grey and throughly cleaned (although your hands wil be black from the scuffing dust lol). Over time with heat contractions the paint could start to lose it's grip. You can also do the tape test (get some gorilla tape and see if it pulls off the paint to check it is bonded correctly). Other than that it's looking good, lots of work but worth the effort in the end.

For the next time you paint: if you're using respirators, you should probably be using goggles too. As a very different but relevant example, there was a C-141 crash where flaming paint in the cargo hold released cyanide smoke into the cabin air. Though the crew had oxygen masks on to keep from breathing in the cyanide, it entered their bodies through their eyes. The USAF subsequently added goggles to the emergency O2 masks, and recently upgraded them to an integrated mask/goggle system that is much more effective at sealing around the face. Because of this story, I regard anything that's dangerous to breathe in as equally dangerous to/via your eyes. Even if it's not toxic, the thought of getting vaporized paint in my eyes is not pleasant.

I found a few "gotchas" with the quickbuild; some steps that I thought were done that weren't; others I wish hadn't been done yet. Painting: major pain. Were those parts scuffed? Most paints won't adhere to the Alclad surface. Another Golden Rule: if it don't fit, don't force it.

I would love to do a custom paint job on a plane. I used to paint for Mercedes, BMW and luxury car dealers. Did some custom bikes and cars but never a plane.

Great video, perhaps you could be involved with the mossie restoration? That would be cool

In full disclosure, I am not a paint expert!!! however, I do paint a lot with standard hobby airbrushes in the micro-scale painting plastic models. When I see the spiderweb finish you were showing in the video it has always (with lacquer based primers)been an under-thinned paint situation.

Suggestion on the quick build. When you review it against the plans make sure you're doing more than just a 'looks about right' check. While mistakes are rare I had several on mine where something wasn't match drilled or countersunk, or the wrong rivets were used.

We actually did a pretty thorough job - it was hard to capture the detail to that degree on camera... But as for your situation - Really? Wow. What kit do you have and when was that? Did you report it to Van’s?

@@FlightChops RV-10, got both the Fuselage and Wing kits April of '16. I didn't report any issues, just drilled out the rivets and countersunk and riveted with the correct ones. I'm sure I found other issues post initial inspection, just worked through them as they popped up.

Love that! Can you also tell what is the device behind you at 15:00? It looks like an old simulator. Any details on its serviceability and future plans?

All that deburring must get a little tedious! Top marks for sticking at it. Just a quick question, what's the black painted wing from at the back of the sprayshop? At a glance it looks like something off a WW2 heavy bomber.

I'm WAY too late to THIS party, but I kept wondering (as an A&P) where's the Alodine 1201 conversion coating? I thought those pieces should have a pale gold hue before the Zinc Chromate primer goes on. Not so with Vans? Or is the primer better these days than when I learned about that stuff 14 years ago, and no longer needs that extra step?
