Empennage ordered
Well I finally jumped in and did it?Friday afternoon I faxed my RV-8 empennage order in to Van?s to start this odyssey! Thanks so much to all of my mentors out there - on this forum, EAA chapter 168, and to my wife and family! I?m really looking forward to the journey ? and the end result!
I haven?t yet heard from Van?s, but it was Friday afternoon when the fax went off. Sitting in the mountains of Ruidoso, NM now for a short vacation with the wife?her idea, knowing we/I will be kinda busy for the next few years!
I think I feel the corners of my mouth curling up just a little bit...actually alot!
