[Wing] Starting a RV-7

[Mike Speer]

Pat

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Dropped in on a -6a project this
week there are at least two that I know about in my neighborhood, amazing
. I've stopped trying to convince myself and have made the order for the
RV-7. I am a lot more comfortable since I joined the "wing" and have met a
few builders, once I get a few thousand rivets under my belt it won't seem
like such a big deal.

I pass through YYC on a regular basis with my job so I will give you a
call.

Thanks..  Mike
