Russians are coming - Introduction
Ladies, Gentlemen and Airplanes,
After lurking here since 2005 it's time to say PRIVET (hello) and SPASIBO (thank you). It has happened. The 9A is on the wheels, new Lycoming will be picked up in two weeks and Catto's work of art is patiently waiting on bedroom wall. In no way it would be possible without this wonderful and intelligent community. Real comradeship of RV builders and owners. Essays of Ironflight, Bob Collins and Mickey (where else airplanes could write,think and talk) charged me for next day, encyclopaedic knowledge of George,WCurtis and Mel gave me confidence in things in doubt and perfectionists Scott and Tanya (or should I say perfect family?) became examples of doing things correct and visualize it. Thank you guys for maintaining extensive websites - Jerry Thorne, Mike Shipper, Walter and other celebrities. My progress would definitely be much slower without "inventors". Thank you John Lewandowski for you rear spar drill jig and wheel pants box idea. Thank you Vern Little - almost all your ideas I used. List can go on with chief motivators - Scott Schmidt, Pete Howell, Ted Chang ... page is too short to list.
And of course The Boss (NACHAL'NIK) Doug Reeves thanks for maintaining VAF clean, secure and litter free! My annual donation is on the way!
Respectfully, Vlad Karpayev RV9A N666BK

Hi Vlad,
Welcome and glad you finally posted. I see things are coming along with the 9 since we met at the Mattituck engine build seminar and at OSH '07. I can't remember her name but I ran into your build partner at KUKT a few weeks back. Post some pictures.

You are welcome Sir, I plan on lots of "more"! 
Vlad, no more lurking, you are now a contributor. BTW, what are the intentions of your Russian airforce -9? Hmmmmmm?

thanks William
Long time I didn't see you William though I regularly search your website for ideas. Jayne decided to go non-RV and bought an Arrow share at Quakertown. She is my only helper and always ready when I need help. I will post some pictures of the status as soon as I figure out how to do it.
Regards, Vlad

Welcome aboard Vlad, and privet!
I have had the pleasure of meeting RV builders in Moscow - glad to see we have Russian buiulders here in the US as well. Hopefully we'll run into eachother at a fly-in when your -9A is flying,
Paul

Kirk and Paul RV "fighters" posted together
Good sign! Kirk I would like to join your Bahamas formation someday. Can I book a slot say 2011?
Paul, I know those guys in Moscow. And they remember you. They went professional and are using skilled riveters from MIG factory. Their machines are beautiful!
