I want to donate my prize that I won for donating to the VAF

[aviationgeek84]

I suggest that when you find a recipient for the gift certificate that you place a condition on the gift that whenever that person is done with whatever they buy with it, that they give it to someone else who may need it.

I'd second that idea. Pay it forward.

I need a new 3" reach SS squeezer!

Brian,

What a neat thing to do. I do not need it but I would like to nominate a friend - kevinyocom (user name here).

I took him for a ride in my RV6 in October and by the end of November he had ordered the complete slow build RV8 kit. He wanted to get the complete kit on order and paid for before the annual price increase. He did order a complete set of tools from Avery or Cleavland but I know he probably needs something.

He only received the Empennage around the first of December and is almost finished with it.

How about I put the $30 toward a tungsten bucking bar. When I'm done I'll give the bar and my clecos to the next guy. He adds something when he's done. After about 50 years, we'll be passing around a whole tool kit.

I'll throw my name in there too. Will gladly pass it along when I am finished. Possibly write up a story behind the tool and it might get into a magazine or something?!?

[Brantel]

Still time to get your name on the list, I think I will keep this going for another day to give everyone a chance to get in if they want to....

[hydroguy2]

while my build has stalled due to finances, a new tool or two won't help.

Now if it were an Enginebuilder or SteinAir or SamJames certificate, I'd be all over it.

Good Karma to you, Brian

i'd like to respectfully withdraw my name from the hat.. there are currently guys building (or at least closer to building than me).


i agree "pay it forward" great idea!!

(maybe i can be the 2nd "pay it forward" builder)

Ian,

You can pull out if you want, but your more than welcome to stay in the running....

Hi Brantel

on another level you could call Avery and buy some VAF caps or T-shirts (if any left), so you give parts of the price to the charity supported by Doug.
I ended up doing this when Mr Avery didn't want me to pay the return shipping of a tool he had fixed for me (return shipping was to France, great people at Avery).
