New To The Forum
Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum. I just bought and I'm going to start an -7 emmpennage kit. I bought it from a previous owner whom only completed the vertical stabilizer and a small portion of the horizontal stabilizer. I must say that the workmanship is outstanding. My compliments to this builder and for the trusting words from Mr. Jay Pratt which helped me to make this decision. I look forward to beginning the project and will, in all likelyhood, be asking for assistance from this forum.
Best regards,
Warden

Welcome!
Hi Warden,
I'm in pretty much the same boat as you - bought a partially-built empennage and wing kit from a great previous owner. He even took the time to teach me and have me practice some Vans RV build basics under his supervision - dimpling, riveting, deburring, etc.!

welcome
Welcome Warden and Jim.
Lots of sage advise here.
Search a component before building it. Saves mistakes.
