Building Help/Advice

Hi all,

I've built three RV's : two RV6A's, and a RV-7A that I'm currently flying. All have been/are IFR. The RV-7A has a triple display glass cockpit. I'm based at 7B6 Skylark in E Windsor CT. If you're nearby and interested, I'll give you an RV ride. All you have to do is call and arrange a time. (If you are a pilot, I put you in the left seat, if you want!) I'm not a CFI, but I will spend time with you as PIC to get you ready to fly your own RV.
I've been doing electrical designs for RV builders for some time. I can offer a lot of help in designing and installing your complete electrical solution, including the basic electrical system, and a complete avionics package. I will generate a complete electrical documentation package that includes schematics of all electrical components (my last plane had seven "D" sized sheets), as well as pictures of installation ideas. Electrical solutions include everything from a simple VFR platform, to extensive IFR capabilities.
If your interested, I also have an electrical presentation that I do for EAA chapters. This presentation is about a hour long, and includes overviews on all aspects of aircraft electrical design and implementations.
I've made several small mechanical design enhancements on my RV's that allow for much easier future maintenance. I've also made a few changes that eliminate some maintenance issues (wheel pant brackets?) I've also built/modified wing tip tanks to extend the flight range when necessary. (I have a second Alaska trip planned with some other local RV'ers for next June!) If your currently building the wings, I can give you some information on how to install the necessary in-wing plumbing for wing tip tanks just in case you might add them later. It's a lot easier to do it now than after the skins are all riveted on?.
I'm currently working part-time but it's only three days a week (Tue - Thur). The rest of my time is usually free for aviation activities. I've put 330 Hrs on the RV-7A in 15 months, mostly traveling to other peoples projects!
Let me know if you want to go for a ride, or just talk. Use my email address below (it's forwarded to my work address) or give me a call?.
