Default RV builders in the Lawrensville, GA area

Hi there,

I'm a new builder - just received and inventoried the RV 8A kit. I'm spending the next two weeks with a friend in Covington, GA. Is there a builder, who would like to show me his project? Would very much appreciate to meet with you.

Best regards

Thilo

Default RV-8A in Stone Mountain

Welcome new guy,
As you can see, there is quite a contingent of RV builders and fliers in this area. I am building an 8A in Stone Mountain, just down the road from you. I have completed the tail and wings and am about 75% through with the fuselage. I also have the finish kit on site. You are welcome in my shop any time. Just give me a call 404-310-5128. However, beware of the 15 minute rule. If you are in my shop, "Tranquility Base", for more than 15 minutes, I hand you a bucking bar and put you to work.
Cheers,
