| USA | Alabama | Muscle Shoals | Raddatz, Steve | 256.443.1915 | n667sr@comcast.net | I have vast experience in RV building and would love to help you with your project to make it the fastest, cleanest plane possible. I can help you build the whole plane right to a turn key aircraft or will help you with sub kits. I can over see your build and you can save the money on not having to buy your own tools. Current turn key build time without paint is 4 months. Give me a call, I can do as little or as much as you would like. |

| USA | Massachusetts | PYM | Balch, Ken | 508-231-8021 (h), 617-699-5868 (c) | web site | Think of it: builder assistance in your own shop! I completed my RV-8 standard kit in 29 months, learning a tremendous amount in the process. There's no need to spend the time & money to truck your project to a distant completion center. Let me assist you, in your own shop, on whichever tasks you'd like to complete in short order. Mounting the wings? Cutting the canopy? Plumbing the engine? Whatever you need done, we'll complete together while you get the benefit of working with someone who's 'been there; done that'. |
