Alliteration aside, I am excited to announce I have a tail kit on order!
Let me back up... HELLO, I'm Rick. After a significant dream period, followed by another significant planning period (during which time I have consumed most of this site) I am joining the ranks of a real builder. I have been a good student and have taken many notes. Here are my thoughts as currently envisioned. There are still a few questions which will resolve themselves in due time. Anyway, glad to meet you all, if any of the following raises an eyebrow, give me a shout out.

Aircraft Choices:
Andair fuel valve?
Camlocks?
Cap fuel sender?
Cleaveland tie down blocks (pn rvtdk Djm)?
***********************************************
Shop/Tools:
Isham kit (on order) with DRDT2, tungsten bucking bar, 3", 4" no hole, & longeron yoke, pneumatic squeezer with adjustable set holder...
