I've known him for almost 5 years, and he still hasn't given me a ride in Flash! What's a guy gotta do Krash?

Donation made...now get to poundin' them rivets!

Tanya and I are in.
Why? Because we believe in your community philosophy. Eventually you'll begin to tire and wonder if it is all worth it. Then, just take a look at that -3 kit in the garage and remember "We love you man" <sniffle, sniffle> ).

Default Watch out Tink, it's time for us to take our best shot.

I'm in. Had some credit left and could help them get it off the books.

Barbara has gone home for the day. Young lady I talked to couldn't tell me the total but she said well over a thousand. She even commented he must be well liked!!!

Wonder when the tail will ship out.

I think he will need to keep a "Status of the DR 3" and post daily updates.

We now need a "take your best shot" name and paint scheme for it.

Believe it or not, I can say with no exaggeration that everything I know about building, I learned on this site.

N183DR
N223DR
N253DR
N263DR
N273DR
N283DR
N293DR
N323DR
N703DR
N903DR

There are probably plenty more numbers ending in 3DR, but I just wanted to see where this could go. N43VA is also available, for Vans Airforce. More 3VA ending numbers are probably available.
Jerry,
I'm betting more on the reg ending in "TR". Flash is Audrey's birthday (N617AR), the 3 will be Tate's (TR). If I knew Tate's birthday I'd give you the whole reg right now.

Doug,

You know now that your building in a new century and all, your gonna need a whole pile of tools you did'nt have back then....

DRDT2,
Pneumatic Squeezer,
Pneumatic Cleco Gun,
Lazers,
Digital Levels,
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

Oh,,, And throw away all your old antique steel bucking bars, these new rivets require tungsten!

And you can't just drill a hole these days, your plane will fall out of the sky! You must ream them!

You know you can't build an airplane without all these new toys!

Seems it was the day that LOE started.

At least that is what I recall DR posting about a week ago.

Found it.

Default RE:Tools for hire!!!!

[You know now that your building in a new century and all, your gonna need a whole pile of tools you did'nt have back then....]...Brian quote

Brian, good point...maybe the next part of this three-a-thon....is a tool loan-a-thon.

My 7 is just about done and I know that my lovely bride of 42 years would be very unhappy if I were to start that next project (Nieuport) any time soon.

With that said any tools that Doug needs that are new and imporoved and not available locally could be loaned to him for the duration of the 3 build from those of us that are done and not using them.......

Frank @ 1L8 ...RV7A... painting and stuff
