Greetings VAF community. I want to introduce myself as today, my birthday, is as good a day as any. My name is Scott Allison and I currently live in Broken Arrow, OK with my wife, step son and part-time daughter (She stays with her mom the rest of the time).
Like many others before me I have dreamed of flying most of my life. In 1997, I had the opportunity to get my PPL and Instrument rating. I was able to log 250 hrs most single engine land. Well as a few stories go, life got in the way and a long story short, I have not flown since 2000. But the bug is in me good to get back up and chase the clouds again.
To keep it short, I will be building a slow build RV-8. Money is tight, so I will be going the route Doug Reeves did by planning, budgeting, saving and then purchasing. I have been on an off this site for a while now and thought I should jump further into the community and make some friends. I will get my dues in by the end of the year, as I know the DR puts a lot of effort and sweat into this wonderful web site.
About two days ago I received my preview plans for the -8, and if all goes well, I will order the empennage kit after the first of the year.
Just want to thank everyone in advance for the help I will be asking for in the future.
Also, if you are in the Tulsa, OK area and are flying, building or wanting to build (like me) an RV please pm me. I would like to make some local friends also.
Blessings,
Scott
