Hi my name is Randy and I am preparing to start my quest to build my own plane. I first got into this quest about 14 years ago but a divorce changed my plans. But I hope to start again and I have a few questions. At first I was thinking about a Kitfox then the Van 12 and now am thinking about the Van 7a as my project plane. First a few questions. I live in Boulder City, NV about 1 and a half miles from the airport. Currently their are no hangers for rent at the airport. So how hard is it to remove the wings if I want to bring the plane home for maintenance, etc. I have a flatbed trailer so the trip shouldn't be too hard.
I plan to take one of the EAA classes for working with sheet metal. Is that a good idea? I noticed the tool link doesn't work anymore. I know Vans sells a tool building Kit for about $2000.00. Is there a link for what it has so I don't buy what I already have? I guess thats enough questions for now. Thanks in advance for your help.
