... and a big step for me !! It's done now!. My RV-7 tail are ordered !!
It's the beginning of a long journey... I dream to that since i'm young !!
So, because I will probably be more active here in the next few year, I will present me !!
I have 37, i'm a draftman and I leave in Qu?bec, Canada. (So my first language are french, this is why you will see some weird sentence when I write in english !! ) I have a small business that I run in my sparetime with my wife. I design R/C aircraft and make some laser engraving.
I have some idea of product for the homebuild community that I will put on my website in a couple of week .... (www.mraerodesign.com)
I made a collegial course in Aeronautic fabrication in 1990. So I learn machining, sheet metal, fiberglass, aerodynamic, basic engine mecanic, drafting and plan reading and a lot of other thing...
I pass my private licence in 93 in a Beech Sundowner. I have near 100h in Sundowner. Badfully, I don't flew during many years, and I finally buyed in co-propriaty a nice Piper Cherokee 2 years ago. I have now approx 300h of flight.
I have nearly all the tool required + a 36" shear/bend/roll bench and also a lathe, a milling and a TIG welder. Don't know if this 3 last tool will really help for building a RV, but I love it for my R/C work !! ;0)
Since my college, I don't really work in the real aviation, but I think I have enough experience now to try to build my aircraft. I have a friend who work at Bombardier (team leader in the Challenger jet preflight). So, he can help me for the sheet metal job. I have another friend who are mecanics for the Qu?bec government fleet on the CL-215, CL-415 and Medevac jet). So, this guys will be able to help me for the firewall foward job !! And I have all of you for specific RV question !!!
So, I'm very anxious to reveive my tail and start building !! By the time, I will do like I do since the 2 last year.... read this forum and dream to my futur RV grin... Ho!!.. by the way, I have make a flight in a RV-8 last year... I think I had the RV grin during nearly a week.... I nearly found my next flight in Cherokee boring..... don't know why....
