Hotter than blazes today in the tin shed hangar, 102F, but a couple of parts came in that I wanted to install, so the top cowling was off.
A gray haired guy comes by in his car, and asks me if that's an RV-12 that I am working on, and what was it like, building it. Explained I'd just bought it a few months back, the builder lived back East, this was his 3rd RV.
"Brad" seemed pretty excited. Seems he had to go home and pick up his first kit from Van's, tail feathers, on his new to him RV-12IS.
So we have another new RV-12 builder at KWHP... that will make five RV-12's at the airport I'm at, when they finish it. Brad is building it with his two sons. He already owns 2 other small planes.
I told him I'd like to help him build some of it. He welcomed it.
Exciting times!
