The Workshop is on the ground floor. It is about 6.5 by 5 meters, but with 'cutouts'  in two corners. I hope to be able to make all parts at home (= homebuilt aircraft!) and then only do the final assembly at the airport.

I takes time before you can get started. Unload the crates (four in my case as I orderd Empennage as well as Wing kit in order to keep shipping costs down), unpacking them, inventorying everything (there are millions of parts - and none missing - outstanding job by Van's!), organize all parts so you will find them again, and at the end getting rid of the crates. As my space is limited it probably took me longer than necessary, 18 hours all in all. But with the exception of two large prebent skins (tailcone sideskins) I managed to get all into my shop!

The first pieces of the Vertical Stabilizer are on the working table. They are waiting for deburring, dimpling, priming, riveting...

Here you see my mobile platform with band saw, grinder, drill press and vice. Below there are some drawers.

All hardware comes in tiny paper bags. 50 of them in each kit. During inventory you should look into each of them (altough I didn't count the rivets!)

This is a picture from my painting room in the basement. The ventilator on the back wall I can bear the priming process, even if I still do not feel that comfortable.

Also the horizontal stabilizer is hanging from the ceiling.

As I was running out of space in my shop, I had to move my wings.

Here you see the wing stand and one wing moved down where I prime my parts.
