Great timing! My tail kit is arriving in Orange Park (Jacksonville) in the next week or so. I bought the kit, unstarted, from MustangBob.

I moved to Austin from Jax 11 months ago for work. I started building my 7A a few months later. I miss Jax, but Austin has a lot of RV builders around here, so it's good place to build. But I gotta say, Jax has much better GA facilities! Now I've gotta finish the plane before I can move back.

On a whim I decided to check out hangar availability at Herlong. Waiting list is 1 - 2 years and $214 to $290 a month. Yikes. I think I'll check again after I finish the tail. Then I might have a better idea how much lead time is best for me. I'll also check out the hangar size and see if pairing up with someone is feasible. After all, an RV-6 isn't too big.

t $300 a month maybe installing floats and launching it at the boat ramp across the street is a better idea.

Will you guys in Baja Georgia let a cracker join you? I'm slowly working on a RV-7A QB, and frequently would like to actually look at a RV.

Well I'm glad to see you guys are using this.

I'm in Panama City Beach. We have several RVs here. Two 8's, three 6As, one 9 and two or maybe three 7/7As that I know of.

I'm working on the finish kit for my 7A. Hanging engine, starting the wiring and installing avionics.

Please pass the word around about this regional forum.

We can post when we will be at Sun 'N Fun and maybe get together for a soda pop or something.

I plan on going to Sun n Fun. Either renting an Arrow or an R-22 since my tail kit hasn't even arrived yet.
