Folks,
I'm basically just bragging here, but I needed to give a shout-out for my wife, Debbie. Our RV-6 did its first flight last week, and I have a lot of people to thank, but I know who's on the top of the list...
There she is, installing the wing root fairings. Need I mention that it was her birthday?! When I bought the project, and was trucking it home, Debbie drywalled and wired our garage workshop. The next year she came to Oshkosh to take the sheet metal construction course, and worked alongside me every step thereafter. When I considered buying a new engine, or splurging for a constant speed prop, she said, "that's what money is for"! When "someone" needs to crawl under the instrument panel to work in tight spaces...
The data plate lists the aircraft manufacturer. Her name is engraved on it beside my own. We wouldn't have an airplane without her support and encouragement.
Hey, guys, anyone else care to share their stories about support on the "home front"?
