Awesome, welcome to your new best, worst, expensive, fun addiction! I'm sure you will enjoy the process if you have spent that much time review other builder blogs!

I think you should post a picture of what you and your father built so everyone can see your workmanship.

I don't believe any of the tool vendors give any significant discounts at OSH, but I could be mistaken. I know for a fact, that Van's doesn't and they would prefer you to order directly through the office. Their tent is a zoo during the show.

If you have the cash on hand, I would order now. Why wait for the fun to begin. The tools and the empennage are shipped via ground freight. So depending on where you live, it may take a week or so lead time just for freight.

Just make sure to time things so they don't arrive while you are at OSH.

Sounds like I'm in the same position as several of you. Went to Sun n' Fun in April, now heading to Oshkosh in July. Plan on ordering my 9A kit there and also looking for deals on tools. Would welcome any comments / suggestions on which vendors to go with.

Thanks,

Mark

Yeah, i definitely agree with Bob. You will become good friends with your local UPS/USPS/Fedex delivery guy. This is the start of many many many deliveries.

My postman started stopping by regularly even when there wasn't a package to deliver. They all were curious to see the small boxes of stuff they brought slowly morph into an airplane!

I bought the Isham Tools and they are great! It was really cool when I went to Synergy Air and their favorite tools were the Drill and Rivet Gun that Isham sold me.

Get rid of the adjustable valve on the Rivet Gun. The kit came with all the extras many other kits don't have that my friend recommended.

Their internet price was good!
