Its great to see your efforts payoff and you've done a great job passing your building knowledge along........I'm a little jealous.... My best friend and I completed our Empennage kit at Alexander Technical Institute in Griffin Georgia, back in April 2004. We are too anxious to get the rest done but it just takes time and persistence. Keep the great work and let us know how its is progressing. Jealous RV wannabe.....flying old Bonanza......
