I built my own and when I found these I threw mine away and used these. Much
better, lighter and smoother. Bob Snedaker at http://www.fairings-etc.com/
does a great job. I enjoyed building my own but I found it a challenge to
make nice smooth curves and mine weighed about twice as much as Bobs. You
need to flex the upper intersection fairings to get them on and off so they
need to be flexible unless you make them in 2 pieces. BTW, the upper
intersection fairing for the main gear is not the same as the 6A, in spite
of what I had been told by others. In the past Bobs web page didn't have
pictures for the 9 and 9A but I called him and he did have fairing for the
9's.

Well after much lurking, visiting different projects, and encouragement from other
RV builders (such as Rick in Nevada), I have stepped off into the deep water.
It took several visits out to the college to participate in numerous experiments
and selling vast quantities of various body fluids, but I finally got
the money and I am now the proud owner of an -9 empennage and complete tool kit.
After looking over the plans, I must say I am excitedly scared at the prospect
of building this machine. This is gonna be GREAT!
I anticipate ordering the wing kit by the end of the summer as I have a few other
projects to complete first (including a wedding), plus my back just wouldn't
hold up to the late night dancing at the club which threw my finances a little
off. The paper route is going well though, plus the whole lottery thing each
week, so hopefully I should be back on top by then.
I am located in Southeast Missouri and looking to hook up with a tech counselor
as I want it done the best I can possibly make it. I have received a contact
list from EAA which I plan on utilizing, unless someone wants to step forward
or has a better idea. I would also like to co-mingle with other builders in
the area.
One of the final decisions on this particular project was the RV family. Each
person seems genuinely concerned about every aspect of this hobby and goes out
of their way to show it. I have been greatly impressed with the overall attitude
of RVer's which made me want to be a part. Thanks for the opportunity to
participate with such a distinquished group.
BTW, I have an extra set of preview plans for sale (its a long, sad story). I
would consider a trade for a wing kit or maybe a set of those nomex shorts.

Hi Chuck,
Open the box and inventory the parts. If for no other reason, to be sure
they are all there and not damaged in shipping.
Don't worry about being intimidated. We all were and still are. You have
made a good decision and have chosen an excellant kit. You will be surprised at
how many resources are avialable to you.
Get hackin at it.

Chuck & other newbies,
A couple suggestions:
As you inventory, write a part description that makes sense to you on the
outside of the bags.
If you are going to keep the parts in the original boxes until you need
them, note on your pick list which box each part is in and / or list them
on the outside of the box.
