In you neighborhood
Congratulations! I’m right up the road in Marshall, NC. We’re going to form our own local RV-12 flying club soon. There’s at least 5 nearby that I’m aware of.

So due to the lead times on kits, I just went ahead and ordered the wings and fuselage in addition to the tail cone/empennage.
Not like I will see them anytime soon but might as well get in line....

Got the email requesting final payment on my tailcone/emp kit. This was a surprise to me as I was not expecting that till sometime in April. Guess we will see if they beat the original guestimate.

First Kit Shipped!
Emp/Tailcone kit has shipped.
They beat the original estimate by a month. WOHOO!
My primer shipped yesterday as well so it should be here just at the right time.
Already got my tools that I did not have like a HF rivet puller and more 1/8" clecos.
