Default New to the RV family

Hi all,

I have been lurking on the forum for a while and today took the plunge and boght a previously enjoyed RV-6 Empennage and Wing kit. The empennage is complete for the most part and the wings just started. The work done to date looks very good.

I live in Sachse, TX just on the east side of Dallas. I would like to get together with any local builders - happy to help buck rivets and such also.

-Colin

Default local eaa chapters

Colin - There are 2 EAA chapters in your area. 168 meets in Farmers Branch and 1246 meets in McKinney. Both are very active and rich in RV builders, flyers, projects, and overall knowledge. You can't go wrong with either chapter, and some people belong to both.

http://www.eaa168.org/
http://www.eaa1246.org/

I live in North Dallas and am a member (and officer) in 168. We'd love to have you as a member!
