The list has been a little slow with regard to the building practices. Here is a tip on dimpling I just proved to my self.
I started using baby powder on my dimple dies, just a skiff you don’t want clumps. To prove this to my self I just got done dimpling the R&L lower wing skins of an RV-7 took just over an hour ( I have a dimpling machine). Using the baby powder I got perfectly formed dimples faster, when the baby powder wore off the sound of the dimpling process changed and there was a slight marring for the metal that is usual with dimpling. You, using your Avery dimpler will defiantly see the difference.
One more note on baby powder: the reason I have it at the shop is for fiberglass and carbon fiber work. Some times I get itchy and the baby powder applied before I start sanding will eliminate itchiness.

Noel,
Thanks for the tip. I have never heard of using baby powder while dimpling. I’m “itching” to try itJ
Off topic: I understand your 10 is running with a Catto three bladed prop. How does your performance compare to the factory numbers?
