Chris,
I got a fix for all your problems....that being the dogs and leaving things
outside. Just take one of the show dogs and show him outside where you have
the plane parked in the drive way. Take a clothes pin and pin to a
sensitive part of the dog and tie him up to the gear leg with a 10' leash.
I'm predicting nobody is going to mess with the plane though I have no idea
how you'll get close enough to untie him in the morning.

Thanks for the additional heads up. Agreed, I would prefer not to use the
templates. I just don't know of a realistic option. Even though I love the
photos, SWMBO, nor the City of Houston and homeowners assoc, would not be
amused. She already "expresses concern" (yes, that is a euphemism) about
fiberglass and micro dust getting in the house (her babysitting 7 dogs,
however, is GOOD for the house...and the way it smells <g>. Her hobby is
showing dogs).
Actually, that is one of the things I wished to discuss with Velocity. I am
on the end of a slow moving list of 15 waiting for the privilege to pay
$350.00 a month for a hanger. But the reality is, I like working in my
garage and feel I get WAAAAY more done having my "hanger" in my garage and
just off the kitchen. I will routinely go out and check a lay-up at 1 or 2
am and/or pull off peel ply before I go to work.
One of the web pages showed bolting the templates (via a jig) into the
concrete floor. But, I did not see anything in the plans about that, so I
was hoping for some insight from the factory folks.
Ok, finally a real question. How long do I need to have the wings on? I
can roll the plane to the driveway, but could only leave it overnight if I
sleep in the garage. (I live in and love Houston, but you do NOT leave
things "out"......nor sticking out). Could it be realistic to mount the
wings in the morning and remove them that night or the next day??? Even if
possible, seems like it would be a real pain.
I may be able to squeeze a wing on, but, again, how long would this be
needed. I may be able to handle Jana if it were only a relatively short
period (that is if I could even make it fit.) Also, does having just one
wing mounted effect the process since it is uneven?
I was able to make good use of the beautiful weekend. I went flying <g> and
did some "repair building". I still have one minor project (glassing in the
dog house) before I figure out how to get my plane into the garage with a
wing on it (a shoe horn?). Even if possible, it would block access to the
freezer, washer and dryer.....this too would not amuse Jana.....or, give in,
and make the templates......I did just receive some more Velocipoxy....so, I
am ready to add micro <g>.
Thanks again. I will be in deep contemplation.
All the best,
Chris

Chris-
Please tell me that you are going to build the strakes with the wings
attached, and not with the factory supplied "templates" (er, I mean random
strake leading edge positioning devices) if you do use the templates, be
sure to order about another cubic foot of filler to fix the mismatch between
the resulting strake leading edges and the wings.... Just FYI, been there,
already paid the price....

Thanks for the pix.
Ok, now a really quick rant/vent. I am all for fun and business opportunity
at Sun & Fun, but I am mildly annoyed that no body was left back a Sebastian
to be able address my technical questions and will not be back 'till the
20th. Dang it, I am about to start the dreaded STRAKES. It should be perfect
weekend weather for building here in Houston, mid 70, LOW humidity and sunny
and I am gonna be nervous starting this next big project without Branden's
comforting words of support.....like the 411 on the PITA strake templates.
Thanks for the vent. :-)

Just back from S-N-F and thought I'd share a couple of pics.
Had to wait for the ice to melt off the plane this morning!!!
Quit a blow came through Monday night as you'll see.
Volunteered 30 hours in the 4 days we were there. It was a great time.
