Hello fellow aviators.
I've recently moved back to South East Queensland from the north. Have been looking at building my own aircraft for a few years now. Looked at a few different types, but none seem to have the peer support that this forum provides to RV builders. Am looking at building the RV-14A.
Trouble is that I've never actually seen an RV in the "flesh", so I'm wondering if there are any builders in the SE that might be willing to show me their masterpiece either complete and/or in progress.
Also looking for some great local information on things like:
- ordering (individual or multiple sections)
- delivery (best methods to Brisbane area, sea/air freight etc)
- tools (purchase in Oz, USA, delivery with kit etc)
- supplementary materials - local sources etc
- best chapter of SAAA in the area for RV's
Am currently located in Brisbane but probably moving to Sunshine Coast mid-October. Looking at property at Gatton Airpark this week with the 5 year plan of moving there (and hopefully working at Brisbane West (Wellcamp) airport).
Am hoping to start building as soon as possible after settling in - preferably before the end of the year.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from the locals.
