Hello Carl - That your yellow plane I saw at Brazoria County (TX Gulf Coast Reg) this weekend? We're not restoring the RV-1, but there are some good builders (and even better pilots) that tend to congregate at the south end of Clover Field (Pearland). Off the top of my head, our little group has 16 experimentals that are anywhere between in the crate and 25 yrs flying. If you don't feel like burning $150 worth of avgas, stop by. Or call us on the radio. We're Lone Star Squadron.Bought my already flying RV July 2011. I can't overstate how much I learned, working a few days, at RV Central at Hicks (T67), west side of Fort Worth. Recommend you visit Jay's shop, assist with RV1, and learn from people with years of experience working on RVs! I hope to return often to Jay's shop for more upgrades and learning experiences.
Carl
