My project also has a connection with L-3 MAS. My friend Frederic Mirabel works there, and quite often, I rely of Fred's advices when I do not know how to deal with my "snags".

I am a little more ahead than you on the project, with my empennage completed, and half of my fuselage done. Don't hesitate to come check out my project when you have some time.

Eventually, I may even be able to help you out with the flight training. I am CFI class 4, usually flying out of Mascouche (CSK3) on Bombardier Flying Club Aircraft.

Looking forward to more see and read more about your project.

Thanks Martin,
We'll get in touch for sure!

GA is coming to Mirabel due to closure of Mascouche CSK3 November 15, 2016...Let's not give up on our hope to have a replacement airfield at Mascouche/Terrebonne yet...

Ouch, did not know about the fees ... indeed ... at least there are no Nav Canada daily charges.

I thought Mascouche had a tentative new location further down the road still along the 640?

Anyways, build on! I just built a nearly 8 foot long EAA 1000 workbench, and my second 5 foot unit is almost finished!

Salut Martin, bienvenue dans le monde des RV ! J'ai fait mon flight test sur mon RV-7A jeudi pass? et j'ai d?j? 10h de vol, que dire, de pur bonheur !
Sa ma pris 6 ans et 2000h pour le faire mais sa vaux la peine. N'h?site pas ? me contact? si tu veux des info et/ou conseil !

PS pour Martin Leroux , tu dira mes salutation ? Fred Mirabel ! On ?tait ensemble dans le club d'avion t?l?guid? de l'ENA ! Je ne l'ai pas revu depuis des lunes !!!

..plenty of nut jobs on VAF. Myself included. Good luck with the build. For many of us, flying and building at the same time is difficult, if not impossible. So, even if you had your ticket, you'd still need to do a whole lot of flying before you fly your project, when it's done. Build on!
