    I remember helping seal Alpha2's wing tanks. In fact, I think I'm still digging pro seal out from under my fingernails! That had to be more than 15 years ago!

    I'm no longer building an RV-8. I sold the wing kit, unbuilt, and still have a tail kit that I should probably sell at some point. It's built so it's a little more cumbersome to ship. I was going to build an RV-3 and even purchased 3 out of the 4 kits about 19 months ago. I've since decided not to and so I've got $10K worth of unopened crates sitting out at the airport. Need to get that sold one of these days...

    My Midget Mustang has been out of service for a long time. I found cracks in the landing gear. I have all the necessary parts to fix it, I just haven't taken time to get 'er done. Here's a pic of me in my Midget Mustang shortly after it first flew--after my 6 year restoration project!

    Alpha, did you see the pictures I posted a few pages back of the RV-7a that I helped my dad build? EDIT: Here's a link:https://www.ar-15.co/threads/27743-A...l=1#post984849

    Yep, saw the pics, that's what convinced me to show my pics of the -4. Don't let NFATrust guy fool, he'd makes the FrenchWench look small! I still owe him a "wing pro-sealing", but he keeps selling the wing kits.
    Seriously, you should see that Mini-Mustang...That plane is not at all what he originally started with. He's a stickler for detail. Fiberglas work and panel are primo.

    Sits a little lower than what we fly at work. I'd flare 20 times trying to get that on the ground.
