As can be imagined by anyone who has any experience building an RV, building even an RV-12 in 6.5 days is a major effort which requires a lot of advanced planning, etc.
Because of this, registration of volunteers had to be cut off at some point (May 15th actually).
There was a lot of people who volunteered.
The conservative part of me wanted to choose only experienced builders that were willing to work numerous times through the week, to help improve continuity and assure success, but the purpose of this project is to demonstrate that completion of an airplane build project is attainable by the average person as long as they have a proper perspective.
Given that, a lot of effort was put into developing a schedule that gave everyone that volunteered, the opportunity to work at least one work session within their preferred time schedule.
This may add some additional challenge to the project but I feel sure we will succeed, and in doing so, it will further demonstrate that average people can do this.
Thanks to all who have volunteered, and thank you to all who have donated to the effort in other ways.
If you attend Airventure 2018, be sure to swing by the shop tent occasionally to cheer on the build team.
See you there......
