Red face soooo freekin excited

I too just got the previews and will be at Synergyair in Eugene for some adult supervision on the empenage i bought last week. Dude... you are lucky youve got Dan offering you rides in socal, I dont seem to have anyone near by that i can mooch any airtime off of,[i confess ive never even been in a flying rv ]. Also, just read your recent article on the Dynon in kitplanes Dan, nice work, i'm sold already.

Harland, I agree that we are very fortunate to have people like Dan involved with these things...Allthe more reason that I am going with a Vans...That said, you have my interest in Synergyair...One of the big debates within myself taking on this project are QB,or SB, or any combo of the above...There are many compelling reasons to go with the SB... I would imagine if I went to Syergyair for supervision and advice while building the empennage, I would have the necessary skills and confidence to do the rest SB...

I will be taking the EAA RV building course that Dan is teaching in DEC. After that, I decide which way to go...

Cheers, Bill

Bill , we hope that by investing $2-3000 in learning offsets the allmost $10000 additional we would have to invest in the QB, we would probably do both if we could afford it but this freekin hobby/obsession is REALLY expensive and my partner and i have more time than money so we hope this is the right course for us. So far all indications are that we made the right choice

Don't be intimidated by the standard kits. I think building the tail is the hardest part, my opinion only. The rest is all down hill. Hey, I'm stupid and I built an RV-4 that actually flies! If you're slightly smarter than stupid, these new match-hole kits will be a breeze!
