Default Introduction

Hi RV friends,
Quick introduction here. My name is John and after many tube and fabric plane's, I have decided to try something new. I am in the final stretch of selling my incredible acro sport II, which was a very tough decision, but I did it. I have always had a love for the rv's and look forward to a new adventure.

On my radar is an rv4. I look forward to all the great information and people here. Until next time keep all your landings intentional!!! John

I love this expression! Welcome John. You will find out that building a metal plane is much easier then tube and fabric.

John,
You're doing it right. Stay plugged into VAF. Listen and learn, and order those tools and that kit! The hardest part is just getting started...it's all a blast after that.
