Preview plans came today :)
And thus begins the route to building my own aircraft. How cool is that? After extensive forum surfing, I have decided on the RV7..The support network and information available to RV builders is unparalleled.
I am attending a RV builders class in Corona CA in December. Right after that, I anticipate the empennage order.
To say that I am excited to take on this project would be an understatement
The reason I am not starting earlier, is that I am getting married in Sept and have some training for my job in Oct. Dovetails nicely with getting the shop setup, ordering tools etc...
Cheers, Bill

Congratulations on all! Most of your new ventures sound like fun! Just kidding, I'm sure you'll enjoy it all! This is a great site in times of trouble and confusion, at least from the building standpoint. Have Fun!

Slats:
Today is indeed an exciting day for you. One of the good things about this life style is the many exciting days you'll get while building and flying.
I had another exciting day myself today: a pretty red Mattituck van showed up this morning and delivered my shiny new TMX-IO-360. The driver informed me had just delivered an identical engine to a RV-8 builder in Reading.
Enjoy the exciting days. They are memorable.

Bill...if it's the Dec 2-3 SportAir workshop, I'll see ya there. If you want an RV-7 ride before then and you're somewhere in SoCal, just holler.

Dan, that is the workshop that I will be attending!
I have also spent time on your excellent blog! And I would love to take you up on that ride!
I'll keep you in mind when in SoCal
Cheers, Bill

Dan,
Are you leading the September SportAir RV Assembly workshop in Corona? I've considered it but haven't made the reservation yet. Still spots available as of early this week.

Oh boy, you guys better get ready, Dan's a tough taskmaster! Not. Very nice guy, I know you guys will have fun.
Welcome aboard Slats, I'm a repeat offender. I built an RV-4 and now I've got the preview plans for the RV-7 and will be ordering the empenage kit as soon as I'm done repairing my elevator on the RV-4 (if I don't find another builder close by that's selling a tail kit first).
This stuff gets in your blood!
