Default Colorado builders and airparks.......

Hello all,

My name is Evans. I live in Colorado Springs, CO. Thought I would try and strike up some commo with people in CO. I will be building a 7 starting next year. I am also interested in learning about airparks in this state.

Interested in meeting fellow rv'ers in the area.

Cheers

Evans

Evans,

Can't vouch for any airparks, but if you ever get up to Carbondale I have a 7A filling my garage. Hopefully only for a "few" more months.

Todd,

I'm curious, where will you base your -7a? Isn't hangar space an issue with the airports near Carbondale?

I am building an RV7A in Wray, CO 2v5. I have the fuselage in the garage and wings in the adjacent shop. Working on wiring and hopefully getting closer to the end this summer. Stop by anytime if you are out in the middle of nowhere.

Evans,

Chapter 997 is located in Durango at Animas Airpark. We have eleven RV's at present and growing. If you get over this way give us a holler and we will show you the area.

Thanks Jim. I hope to take you up on that. There aren't RVs that I am aware of hear in the Springs. Bummer...

Yes, there are at Meadowlake airport (00V). I'm sure one of them will eventually speak up.

Steve

Also forgot to mention there is builder assistance there as well. Name and number on the builder assistance page of this website.

No, I'm in TN, but I was at Meadowlake for several months finishing up my RV 7. Nice group of guys based there.
