Alright all you Reno area RVers, my -7 kit which has been in storage in FL for a few years is finally on it's way.

I've finally got a three car garage again, and am renewing my EAA membership. Until then I'll be watching all you fly if you'll let me and the wife hang out.

Sounds like you are about to join, or rejoin the builders ranks.

Great news

There is a handful of us up at Stead with RVs, feel free to come out I will introduce you to some of them. I've got a RV-7A, working on the Wheel pants and fairings so I can go faster!

Any recuring EAA chapter meetings or anything?

Greg Arehart · #5 11-12-2010, 04:55 PM

Sig,

There is an EAA chapter here at RTS, but not a lot of real activity. On the other hand, there are a dozen RVs of all flavors on the airport so we welcome your presence. We typically try to get out once a month or more often to do breakfast etc. And we do the annual R-cubed BBQ during the air races. Any of us would be happy to help with your build or go flying, or just hang around and talk airplanes. Feel free to email me directly or call once you are situated and we'll do a lunch or something.

cheers,
greg

Sig,

As Steve and Greg said, lots of RVers at Stead...great bunch of folks. PM or e-mail me along with Greg and Steve, and we'll get in touch. I'm sure we can muster a couple empty seats on some of the fun runs too! Look forward to meeting you
Cheers,
Bob

PS: Greg, as you said in your e-mail today...that was your 1000th post...makes me the rotten egg! :-P

Hey Guys,

I hope to have my RV7 ready to fly up to Reno / Stead in June for PRS.

Would like to get some insight from some builders up North.

Greg Arehart · #9 12-05-2010, 07:47 AM

Let us know what kind of insight you need - plenty of opinions up here. RTS is easy to get into, even during PRS. If you want info off-line, you can email me directly or give a call 775-762-7550.

cheers,
greg

Anyone going to be up there over the holidays? About to mount the vert/horiz stab to the empennage and have some questions, would like to see a few so I know I'm not doing anything wrong. Written instructions are a little vauge.
