The Youngest RV builder?

Post by Leighton »

so i pose the question, who is the youngest RV builder?

Im 21, havent yet bought a kit but im pretty close.... i think an RV-8 sitting in the garage might just be the ticket.

my Preview plans arrived in the post yesterday (im on nightshift this week, and the UPS guy woke me up before 0830, im sure that was a pretty sight) for the RV-8. have breifly flicked through them, but as yet havent had time to go over them with a fine tooth comb...
Watched the Vans story DVD too, pretty neat.

i wants one...

I have to say that ordering a set of the preview plans will just make the itch worse :mrgreen: You are as good as hooked now :thumbsup:

I am not the youngest, but certainly not the eldest either!!!

Leighton, you may very well be the youngest one here!

I am 38. I should live long enough to enjoy this plane, though!

That is a good question, and probably a good poll topic!

How old are you? Spill it!

Well, I am 38 too, so not the youngest. My 8 year has been helping out alot and has been doing a great job, but I guess helpers don't qualify for the youngest builder.
