Any builders in Redding CA?
Hi All, I just ordered the preview plans for the RV-7 and the Van's practice kits. I'm planning to get up to Van's next month to pick up an RV-7 tail kit and tour the factory. I've been lurking for years now and am finally at a point where I can get this project started. This website is great for motivation, especially the trip reports.

I looked at the Sacramento RVators website and filled out the application for membership, I'll drop it in the mail today. Thanks for the tip.

Lake California Airpark (68CA) - Cottonwood
There are several good examples of RV's there and their builders (as opposed to purchased-flying).
These folks would be helpful.

I'm more of a lurker as far as building goes (young and not enough $ yet) but I know there is an EAA chapter here that seems active: http://www.eaa157.org/
I've met a few of the members and they seemed very friendly and invited me to check out their monthly meeting/dinner. I haven't gone to one yet but plan to eventually. Anyway, my point being that I think that's a good place for you to start. |

Welcome to VAF!
Jeff,  aboard the good ship VAF.
You are not too young to start, just remember to take it slowly and small bites.
