What's on your bench?

I broke out my Great Planes RV-4 kit I have been working on for 2 years. I at least double beveled the tail and made the flaps into a 4 surface wing like a ultrastick. Learning to cover at the moment. Won't be a 3D plane, but it is teaching me a lot about repairs.
 
What are you leaning?

How to do sheeting
How the wing is assembled
How to fix mistakes in wood working
How to use filler and prep for covering
How to do some modifications like I changed the flaps to work as ailerons and I changed the bevel in the elevator to get more throw.

I am not finished with the kit yet, but starting with the ARF generation has left me without a lot of repair and building skills.

This thing was definitely time consuming and expensive and I will probably cry if I crash it, but it has been a fun project.
