Mel!

Knowledgeable, and a nice guy. You'll learn a lot during the process too.

Default Pre Buy Inspection
Chuck Wilson and Jeff Hansen of HW Aviation at Aero Country (T31) did the prebuy on my RV8. Great guys, thorough and increadibly knowledgable. They have built two RV4s and an RV10, and specialize in RV work. They also build the extended range tanks for RVs. Hanger 972-347-2781 chckwlsn@yahoo.com
