Default In Africa, Xmas is in May!

Hi Guys,

5 Months after ordering the complete RV7 kits, and all the tools, on 20 Dec 2004, as a Xmas present to myself, shipped 1/2 way across the world, being on the ocean for almost 2 months, its here!

I'm the happiest kid
on the continent, and from now on Xmas in Africa will be in May!

Here is some pictures, and go to my website for more...including pictures of the scary removal of another RV6 out of the same container.




And to top it all my beautiful (7month pregnant) wife jumped in straight away and helped me check the contents of the finishing crate, the crate with all my tools in...

Never again will I have this much presents to unwrap at one time.

Does life get any better?

Kind Regards
Rudi

Rudi,
Congratulations. If you are this happy receiving the kit, just imaging how happy you will be on the day of the first flight. Get started pounding those rivets. From here all it takes is time and more money.
Mel...DAR

Default Jacob's box

Don't you wish that Van's boxes were as good as Jacob's?

Yes, Rudi. Life is better when it's all done and flying. And you get to take your new child for a ride in it. Happy Building and Merry Christmas.
