Hello all,
I have been lurking for 2 1/2 years and have finally jumped the fence. The 10 empennage will be here Thurs. I live in a rural area of WI about an hour west of Green Bay with my wife and large family (9 kids). This brings up my first question. What have others done to include their families in the building process. My children are all very exited to help out in some way. I had some discussion with Dan Lloyd at airventure and have read Tim's web sight over concerning this matter, but would appreciate other comments.

They're quite a few tasks the kids can help, depending on their age.
My kids have helped buck rivets, dimple, and debur. You always can use a
third hand and there is always a mess to be cleaned up. My son (now 1 has
done many of the building tasks on his own, like cutting parts on the band
saw or match drilling. He has also used the squeezer to set rivets.
When I was riveting the horizontal stab, my daughter help with the clecos
(after this I bought a pneumatic cleco gun) and putting rivets into the
holes. This made things go a little faster since my son and I didn't have
to put tools down.
I have a DRDT-2 and my wife even enjoys dimpling. She did most of the
Vert. Stab.
You'll be able find many jobs they can do.

Congrats Tom, and we look forward to hearing about your progress. If you
want to have your wife talk to Trish feel free to call and they can
brainstorm on how each team member can participate. Each of our kids got
to sign the inside of every structure they worked on, with name, date
and age. Even the younger kids can participate by handing tools, sorting
pieces etc.
Give us a call, and I would be happy to fly up and give you guys some
motivational rides and get everyone excited about the adventure ahead!

Naw, he was already on site for first flight, so he signed it then. Then
it was down at his shop for 2 months getting the upgrades and turbo, so
we did not have to wait for that particular sign off, now Stein on the
other hand, still has not signed the back of the panel! And without a
finger who knows when that will get done!

Tom,
Welcome to a great family activity! When my son tells people what we are doing many say "I wish my Dad would do something like that with me." He was 10 when we started our's and it has been part of his education (shop class.) I keep his "classes" shorter than my work sessions so he doesn't tire of the project. Some things he is great at and loves doing for example, deburring holes and drivng rivets. Other things that I though would be good jobs for him he hates, i.e. deburring edges and bucking rivets. So we have divided the tasks and conquored.
One idea would be get several of Van's tool box kits and have a family build. Van's may give you a group discount;)
Enjoy,
Vern (#324 cabin top)
