Hi Guys,
Well, I started my RV adventure over again. Last September I purchased a second hand RV-7 tail kit and built the two stabs and the rudder. Things were going really well and I was having a lot of fun banging rivets.
Then I got crazy. I packed my family up and moved out to a 10 acre farm in the country. My plan was to fly something low and slow off my pasture so I sold my RV7 kit to someone here at work. Turns out landing at the farm was just too tight, so I ordered a brand new RV kit from Vans. This time though, I just couldn't resist the RV8.
Finally got the shop in order and all the tools unpacked last night. My new shop is much bigger which is nice, but the biggest improvement is the beer fridge...
Went to town on the vertical stab. Building my second one sure does seem easier than it was the first time around.
I'll try to post updates from time to time. My wife told me I should build more and blog less. Can't argue with the boss!
