Project: KMYARV12     -     Entry

Jun 30, 2021 51 Time Flies, All of June Category: Fuselage
Basically we have been working 4 days a week since summer started. Clocking about 17 hours per week.
It is too much of a pain to correctly log everything, so I will just have this entry account for everything in June.

We did major progress on the fuselage and made good progress. However towards the last week of June, we ran in to problems with organization and finding stuff. We have 3 copies of section 29 floating around the hangar. Really a big fallibility of paper plans. Next year, the new group of students will start out with an online version using Kami to combat this problem. There also various advantages to using online plans such as taking pictures of where parts are located, where tools were left the day before, etc. Hours were wasted because of organization.

There were also issues with rushing. Trying to get a part done because multiple sections are waiting on it, that is when mistakes happen. Wrong rivets used, wrong order of the plans (could be fixed with online plans), etc. There are multiple teams, but only 1 fuselage. Thus when 1 person is installing their part, the others cannot work on their next step. So they skip around steps and that caused various issues.

It is unlikely that we will get the plane done by EAA Air Venture, hopefully it will be finished by November.
