Hello, been a lurker for a while and figured I?d post a new thread. My name is Jeff. I am looking for an 8 and a builder or owner in Colorado that would be willing to let me pick their brain, talk about the trials and tribulations of the build and maybe, just maybe, even sit in their plane. I am extremely interested in the 8 and I also have a slight interest in the 7 but I look at the 8 and feel that that is what I would absolutely love to build/fly.
I am 35 years old and i am in construction. I do love to build and learn new things. I volunteered at the local fire dept. for 7+ years just for new knowledge and the community. I also have built a few model airplanes and learned to fly them. I mess with old cars and do all my own metal work, body and paint. I do have a family so I also want a 4 place aircraft at some point but since I am underway on my PPL I figured I would rather have hours under my belt before I purchased a family airplane. The Vans product has been of interest to me for well over a decade and I am now at a point in my life I would like to build. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Jeff
