Welcome to the adventure
Howdy Matthew,
I just set our RV 7 on its wheels yesterday, two front one tail, the grin is starting !
I Attended an EAA Sport workshop and to this day I use the skills learned to build our airplane. I learned about Avery Tools at that workshop and highly reccomend them, in fact I purchased there RV builders tool kit. Its all about the tools and they are RV builders so they know what tools will be needed and good quality tools build good airplanes.
Good luck and remember, patience,planning,percerverence, and learn to enjoy the experience. See you at Oshkosh.

Matthew & Larry: Welcome to actually building!
Well, the journey begings.Welcome!
BTW, I tell my wife "I'm going into the shop to stare at the plans for an hour or so". Its true.....no it's true I stare at the plans for hours. It takes that long for things to "gell" in my mind. You'll see!

Thanks for the advice guys!
My dad Larry, my brother Shane and I are partners in the airplane and we are all excited about getting started. Hopefully with all 3 of us pulling together we can keep up the work pace and help keep each other motivated. My Dad is retired so he can spend alot more time building than we can and if its like all of our other projects, a good building pace can be established.
What's cool is that we all 3 live within yards of our shop at my construction business so since we pretty well live at the shop anyway, finding time to work on the RV-7 project should be a non-issue.
Thx again for the replys and see you soon, Dane

Welcome to the club
Matthew,
Glad to see you finally pulled the trigger on the RV7. I know you were trying to decide between the 9 and 7. I also live in Greenville, so if you need extra help, just let me know. I am one of your customers, so you have my number.
Good luck and have fun!!
