Congrats Jeff!
Now you know what it takes to build a 'classic' RV.
Not one of those snap together prepunched units ;-)
Now the fun begins - learning how to maintain and fly an RV.
Good luck in Phase one!

Mickey:
I was hoping to hear an answer like that, thanks. We've got lots of
those at work. I can probably borrow one for a weekend.

Jeff, this is welcome news!
Fly safe and have fun.
I have a pretty good handle on the performance flight testing if you
want advice or help running numbers, but the definitive source is
Kevin Horton's site.
I expect a visit in 40 hours or so, I'll buy the ribs (I'll even buy
the beer this time).

Folks,
I'm getting ready to put my Lasar computer on the firewall (where I've seen them
before in pictures). for those of you that have this ignition system, are you
putting some backing plates to spread the load out - or just nutplating it
in?
Thanks,
Ralph

Mine came in today's mail - and they say 1.115"!
Now I gotta figure out how to make the hole too!
