Hello, all. I am in the Houston area and have been dreaming of building an RV for many years. I have taken recent steps to educate and prepare myself for the challenge, and I realize there is a lot more I need to learn.
I've read Kit Plane Construction, have purchased plans for an RV-8, and am currently accumulating more of a library on the various topics.
I believe the way I'll go about it is to begin accumulating the necessary tools and planning the workspaces (garage, workshop, we own a hangar at 54T), and I'll work on a few smaller sheet metal projects to get the gist of it. I'd like to place my order for the empennage kit in the next few months.
Is there someone in the Houston area that has begun to build or has built one of these beautiful machines that would mind getting together for a chat or at least offer some guidance? I would be most appreciative!
Kind Regards,
Jeff Holzaepfel
