Greetings. I guess I would qualify myself as ?a long time listener, first time caller? to the Vansairforce forum. My foray into experimental aircraft began some 50 years ago. when I was about four or five, my family was on our way to church when we drove past someone?s garage with a half built Piper Cub poking out. That image stuck in my head and was the seed that started this adventure. It has also been the carrot that I?ve dangled in front of myself while I was obtaining my medical degree, starting my practice, putting my daughter through school and building our house. I have finally come to the point where I can pursue my ambition of building an airplane. I purchased a RV8 QB kit and I am knee deep in the construction. I have completed the empennage and ready to move on to the wings. Both my father and grandfather were tool and die makers, however, metalworking does not appear to be an inherited skill. I find that I have become somewhat frustrated in the effort that it has taken to get my build to the quality that I expect in my other pursuits. If there are any builders in the Holland, Michigan area, I would appreciate it if you would send me a shout. I have been very impressed with the support of the Van?s community, which is one of the reasons I chose this airframe.
