I'm New Here
Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to make this sort of post as I'm new to the forum, but I'll give it a go anyways.
I just wanted to introduce myself so I'm not a total stranger as I ask questions in the future.
My name is Michael Groah and I'm a high school automotive and drafting teacher in Tulare California. I built and fly a Pietenpol Aircamper and have helped with a RV8A project in the past. This year I took over a RV6A slider project that had been started by the father of a friend of mine. I was offered the project and decided it would be a great thing to build with my students. There has been great interest by some of the students and they have been having a great time working on the project as well as learning about aviation in general. It's been a great conversation starter. Most of the year they have been working on fixing issues from the previous builders and moving forward where we can. They just finished adding the Anti-Splat Aero "Almost a 14 mod". That mod really added to the comfort of the seating. I highly recommend it. Anyways, we have been moving forward as time and funds allow. If you're interested we have a facebook page that I've been trying to keep updated with our progress:

If you see anything that needs attention let me know. We are learning as we go and have had a few hurtles to overcome from the previous builders.
Thanks for all the help so far and any help in the future as I know I'll have questions. And if you have an engine that you're tripping over and just need to get rid of it cheap let me know!
