It should be noted that Tom has cost a lot of people a lot of money by giving them their first ride in an RV. Including me. There are at least a half dozen RVs on our local field due to his RVangilism.

Sounds like you are a great candidate for a Morgan restoration. 
Congrats on the 24 year milestone. |

Thanks to all for the nice comments. Sanding and final primer on gear legs and wheel pants this morning. I was told that my flight permit should be here in a day or two. The delay has allowed me to get all the gear stuff done. Typically I fly the first few hours off and on rainy days work on the gear farings but this time all that will be done.

Ya, what Greg said.
Toms influence not only got me into building, but also a post retirement career in aviation. My RV7 is gone now, but what remains is a very special friendship with an extraordinary person. What ever he decides to build( and I have seen some peculiar things come out of his shop) i?ll Be in it with you Tom. |

I'll bet you have a thousand great stories to tell! Wow, that's quite a set of accomplishments in the homebuilding world. Thanks for sharing your "resume." Do you ever wish you had all those planes lined up for a group photo?
