I'm New Here
Hi RV community, a few months ago i started a life-long dream and began taking flight lessons (at KHFY). 11 hrs in and getting ready to solo. It's all i think about every day.. This is something i wished i'd started 16 years ago! (I'm 31).
Just got home from going to Airventure for the first time and now my new dream is to build a plane - hopefully an RV! But this time i don't want to wait 16 years..
I'm wanting to meet some local folks who are building, have built, know of classes, resources, mentorships, info, etc..
The goal would be to start building with my father as soon as one year and no longer than 3. In the meantime, I want to get involved in the local community of EAAers, and hopefully some RV8Rs!
I'm hoping to go to the look into EAA 900 and attend the taildragger fly-in at Post Air on the 17th. It's about the only thing i have found so far in the near future to hang around at.
You should PM or respond if:
You want some help building a kit
You want to take someone 'under your wing' who is passionate about all aviation
Especially if you work out of or near KHFY/KMQJ/KUMP/KEYE
Also possibly looking into buying a 150 to train in and build some hours for a couple years if it makes sense.. something <$15k or so..
Any insight is very much appreciated! This looks like a really great community and i can't wait to be part of it!
