  welcome

Welcome to my web site devoted to documenting my half-baked crazy idea to build an airplane. I havent even ordered the first part of the kit... heck I dont even have a complete workshop yet but an early start is a good start I always say! Many parts of this site are incomplete but I'll be adding much more content in the coming weeks.

I will admit that I'm still on the fence between building an RV-10 or an RV-7. I still need to give it a lot more thought but I'm not considering any other manufacturers at this point. It's really a question of cost vs utility. See my decisions page for more information.

I created this site so that other builders, friends, and family can follow along as I progress toward this exciting, multi-year goal. Additionally, this site will also provide a record of the construction of the aircraft for the FAA.

Please have a look around. Feel free to contact me if you wish. Thanks for stopping by!
