Default Greetings from the snowy UK

Just wanted to say hello after reading these forums for a good while.

I've finally bitten the bullet and ordered my RV-12 the first bit of which should be in the UK early February. I'm a first time builder and very aware it's going to be a huge challenge. I have no doubt I'll be asking a few questions of you guys as the build progresses.

Let the fun begin

Default Also snow in the Netherlands

Another European builder!
Also a lot of snow in the Netherlands, keeps me from building. Doing a lot of outdoor activities lately.

I only did make some skies for my Piper Cub from damaged (by shipping) RV-12 skin. So that will be the first RV-12 parts flying in Europe
Have fun building!

Joeri, Netherlands.

Hi Topturn

As well as the excellent information gleaned from these pages, don't forget the UK RV Group at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rvsqn/

You'll really enjoy building the 12.

Default Cub

Great Cub photo. We had snow in Florida today and below freezing mornings for the past two weeks. This hampered finishing my RV-12, too cold to work in hangar, not used to this kind of weather, so much for Global Warming. Hope to return to UK one day. Spent three years at Greenham Common, wonder if the AFB is still there? Really enjoyed my tour there.

Default Greenham Common

No! After years of campaigning it got torn up and returned to "common" land.

Cheers...Keith
