Default Another New Builder

Van's has lured another one into the trap. After 3 years of looking and lurking, I have placed the order. At first it was to be an RV-7A, then the 8A, then back to the 7A. Well, today I ordered the 8 empennage and unless I change my mind again it will be the tail dragger instead of the nose roller.

That's cool - congratulations. You really can't go wrong on which model/options you pick.

I think I lured one of my friends into the trap after letting him see my project, a completed show winner and let him squeeze a few rivets. They're in Germany for 9 more months on assignment but I told him Van's can send things over there!

Good luck.

Congrats Zack! You can still wait quite a while to make that decision as well. Emp and wings are the same for both. Gotta commit for the fuse though.
