Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum. I just bought and I'm going to start an -7 emmpennage kit. I bought it from a previous owner whom only completed the vertical stabilizer and a small portion of the horizontal stabilizer. I must say that the workmanship is outstanding. My compliments to this builder and for the trusting words from Mr. Jay Pratt which helped me to make this decision. I look forward to beginning the project and will, in all likelyhood, be asking for assistance from this forum.

Best regards,
Warden
 
Welcome!

Hi Warden,

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you - bought a partially-built empennage and wing kit from a great previous owner. He even took the time to teach me and have me practice some Vans RV build basics under his supervision - dimpling, riveting, deburring, etc.!:)

Where about in mid mich?
I am in Windsor, I am trying to wear out my gear landing at all the airports I can find in Michigan?

Likely a lot of fellow builders close to you.
 
Thanks everyone!

Rick, I'm about 15 miles south of Lansing. Small town of Charlotte (FPK).

Welcome Warden and Jim.
Lots of sage advise here.
Search a component before building it. Saves mistakes.

Welcome, Warden! You've embarked on one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do in your life. You might consider getting your wing kit on order. There's about an 8-week wait, and you'll have that empennage kit finished before you know it. :)
