I'd be prepared to wager a fair amount you can (and will) build a 14.
Like everyone you will enlist help at times but nothing seems beyond your ability.
Hope you have a builders blog so we can follow your build.
Medicine with one arm is not easy either, especially emergency medicine.

Thumbs up I am your man

I built an RV7 about 7 years ago, flew it for 5 and then due to circumstances(lack of funds) sold it. I recently moved to the Tampa area and would love to help out. I have most of the tools and some of the jigs that I used to complete my project. I am a Certified Mechanic with a Repairman Cert. and I have recently retired so I have some time on my hands. Contact me at craig.niebauer@gmail.com if you are interested.

I do have an ID, may look into that!!

Also sounds like he is missing the arm at about the same spot as me so if her has already built a plane I think I should be great then (also have a farmer's hook [spring loaded one] as well as the high speed, low drag electric one)...

I'll try to reply to all the PM's now, too!!

Will definitely take you up on that!! I'm in South Tampa near bayshore, gandy and macdill. Are you any relation to an Amanda Niebauer who's an RN here?

Also, to those who mention EM with one arm.... Yah it certainly has it;'s challenge, one of the biggest being "how do I explain/teach someone with two hands how to do it???" A friend of mine from school whom I taught to suture said someone once pointed out "why do you tie all your knows left handed when you are right handed...." Yeah, my fault, sorry! lol

Default Niebauers

I moved from a small town in Western NY to Naples about 30 years ago. Moved up to the Tampa area to retire nearer one of my children and his family. In all my time in Fl I have never run across another Niebauer let alone a related one. My relatives are few and not very family oriented. I would love to discuss your build. I have a ton of opinionated advise. If you are interested in hearing it drop me your e-mail.
Craig
