@stevenesmond2 The fuel tank (20 USG) is in the fuselage The reason for that is that the wings are removable in just 5 minutes ; watch?v=AnWrXKfh_XM (prototype)
About 12000 blind rivets and a couple of hundred solid rivets, mostly AN426AD3 to fasten the nutplates and some AN426AD4 for the tailcone and flapbrackets (e.g. 34sec). All easy to squeeze with a handsqueezer.
It didn't take any more time at all. The camera (Canon350D) is standing on a tripod with a wireless remote control (also Canon). You just step aside and press the button after every step. The rest is done in iMovie; just put all the pictures on a timeline and choose the speed option.
Where was the fuel tank?

@ThePlanespotter1 That's my son Bas (11 years/2009). He did most of the rivets in the wingpanels.

Does the RV-12 use all blind rivets?

Very cool, great soundtrack after all.
Did it take much extra time filming the process?
