Thanks for all the input guys! My gut instinct was that I want to build my airplane be it a 7 or 9 variation. I do agree with CJ that a 7 can do all that a 9 can do but I am still up in the air. I do like the idea of being able to do some acro someday. I did speak with a gentleman that lives within ...

I have a guy that lives near me selling a 7 emph with only the left elevator left to finish. he is selling the emph and phnuematic squeezer and 3x rivet gun for $2250. Not sure but he must also have a c-frame not sure if that goes with? He says in his ad he will not split them up. Wondering how much...

That's awesome Chad We need video and pics of the first flight. Congrats on five years of blood sweat and tears

Congrats Chad! Good luck on your inspection

That looks awesome Chad!

Thanks for all the input guys. And Jeff, that is the conclusion I am coming to. I will try to find someone local or take the trip to vans. I just can't see making a decision without a ride. Not that you could go wrong with either a 7/7a or 9/9a I was really leaning towards the 9 but I am just not co...

I am wondering if vans gives demo rides at osh? I am thinking 7/7a or 9/9a and would really like to experience it before committing to a decision. osh would be closer for me versus vans for a demo ride

Brian he is more than welcome if he needs a place to stay. Let me know!

Brian, I will try this post again, not sure what I did on that last one! It looks like he is coming thru Sioux falls and he is more than welcome at our house if he needs. Just let me know?

Brian

Congrats Brian,

It's posts and pictures like that which inspire me to get my butt in gear and get my shop ready and make a final decision on which one to build Keep us up to date on how phase one goes and safe flying.

AMEN TO THAT

congratulations Chad!!!!

Congratulations Lance

A little over a month for phase one is great. You must be estatic. Has everything gone well? Any problems at all? It must be an awesome feeling to have that behind you Congratulations!

I went back and read quite a few threads on compressors and wanted to lay out what I got out of it to make sure I get it right the first time. I appreciate any input or advice! come off the tank and have some sort of coil (a coil of copper pipe to allow air to cool) what size copper? then run a air/...

Thanks Spike!

Bob and Lance thanks for the invite, if im in the area I will take you up on that. I like the idea of a portable compressor for moving to the hanger. I believe that is the way I will go. I don't think I will be buying someone else project, I suppose if a great deal comes along you never know. I am t...
