Default Newby to the forum say hallo.

Just want to say Hallo and introduce myself to this great Community. I live in South Carolina with my wife Tina and my 5yrs old boy Alex, We moved here in 2006 from Torino (North West Alpine Italy) accepting an offer for a job in a major Airplane build facility as a Technical Designer.
In Italy I was used to fly gliders but I stopped fly in 2001 because of lack of money, sold my beloved Schleicher ka6e on which I achieved FAI Silver and Gold badges and pretty much had to forget about fly.

Than about three years ago my friend Jim gave me a ride on his RV-7 Papa Lima and I was hooked, I had to get back to fly, so got my USA PPL, found the closest airplane to an RV6/7 that I could afford in a 1971 Grumman AA-1A with a freshly overhauled engine, and now in my spare time after work I?m helping the local IA mechanic and friend in his shop gaining experience toward my A&P.

I?m planning if all goes well in 2/3 years to be at a place both technically and economically to search for an RV 4/6 but for now I? just enjoy fly my cheap and fun AA-1A from KMKS.
