Airplane Hangar Foam Insulation Application and Paint - Plus Apartment Redo! - Subscribe to VansAircraftBuilders.com
I had foam insulation installed in my hangar. This foam conforms to the shape of the hangar interior walls as it dries, and almost looks like regular texture you would see in a home with sheetrock walls. It dries within minutes and is paintable in the same day. It also seals the entire hangar, preventing bugs from getting in. @Vansaircraftbuilders #Vansaircraft

The Near Final Tail for the RV-15 Flies - Subscribe to Van's Aircraft
So what's been happening with the RV-15? In the last month, after getting its new wing fitted and flight tested, the engineering team has been hard at work, um, undoing a lot of their earlier work! In fact, the whole tail assembly - surfaces and the tail cone itself - had been modified several times to test different configurations.
