Looking for RV "builder's" who talk to each other, complain about all the extra work required to fit fiberglass tips, the lack of "complete" plans and bemoan that fact that in general Van's parts are not always perfect. Join the RV-10 list. You will however pick lots of great tips for building any RV as these guys are very articulate, (opp's did I just re-offend someone running for President). 8*) KABONG
HRII N561FS Do Not Archive. No pre-punch, no QB, builder jigs required, measure, mark, punch & drill every hole and build from two differant sets of plans. BUT there are still hardy types that are building HRII Rockets.
But have some cheese handy to go with all the whine.

This has got uphill both ways in snow written all over it! The previous
generation always has it worse than the next, and the older group never
wants to hear the woes of the younger generation....while each
generation always feels that they are justified in their complaining.
LOL

N289DT RV10E and yes the cabin top does suck, so much fiberglass on a
metal plane is not right!

AHH, Yes. The old six feet of snow, barefoot, a 50 MPH wind in your face both ways and in the dark too. Know it well.
However there are still lots of "previous generation" types who are starting to build everyday in the "old" way (no way but the "old" way if you build an HRII). But you just don't seem to hear them complaining as loud or as often. Asking questions, need help on something but no whinning. Want the newest info on glass panels, filling pin holes, tunnel heat, auto pilot interface problems ? ?, the RV-10 list is the place to go. But ya'll still need to take the cheese. 8*)

Next projects: P-51 pedal plane built from plans and modified to be an N561FS look alike. Including making the wheel pants & farings from scratch (no plans). In (YUCK) fiberglass yet. ASAP start work on an RV-12 kit (waiting on Van's...early '08 maybe), finish up getting 1967 Dodge Charger car show ready (bought new in '67 by Tom's (Gummibear) Dad.
Smile a lot: People will wonder what you're up to...

I remember getting grief from other slow builders because my kit came with a
precut firewall with all the little bits clecoed in place. I was elated when
someone finally got a Quickbuild so I could pass it along. Guess they'll
always be a pecking order.
