Any RV-3 Builders in the West LA Area?
I'll be out there for a visit soon.
Thanks,
Dave

In Central CA
I have just finished the wings. They are still on the jigs while I am finishing the F303 wing spar bulkhead assembly.
The skin condition is pretty smooth (I think), and sometimes seeing something in the "flesh" is worth more than pics and a chat room.
Unfortunately I am not in the LA Basin, but am about 3 to 3 1/2 hours North by car, or 1 to 1 1/2 hours by plane either to HJO (Hanford) or 92CA (Westlake-Stratford) which is my home airport.
If you would like to visit, I would be happy to have the company. If you do come we could go over to Visalia and visit Rod Bower - Bower Aviation Products, who makes the well received aftermarket RAM Induction System.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thx
David Howe

David, Dave Howe's work on his RV-3B is beautiful and meticulous. If you have the time, you will not regret the drive up to his place to see his work. He's also a very nice guy, to boot!

I doubt it. We may be driving down to So Cal for Thanksgiving but the house is finishing up and we have some rare time together, so I doubt that there will be any solo trips in the next couple of weeks. Swing by Reno!

Second the suggestion to go visit David. All of his stuff (-4, Rocket) is PERFECT!
