History of My Hobby
The RV-6A is the most successful homebuilt kit in history. Thousands of the kits have been sold. I am starting one of the
last ones. In fact, the week I ordered my empennage, Van's introduced the successor, the RV-7. I figured they had worked
the kinks out of the 6, so I stuck with my plans to build the 6 and have not been sorry. There are a lot of great web sites
out there that have helped me, and I thought I would hang some pictures and comments here to document my experience with the
excellent kit.

My Background
I have some background in woodworking, but I had never driven a rivet before starting this kit. Some of my early rivets attest
to this fact! I'm learning as I go and I'm not afraid to buy a new tool or a new piece from Van's if I make a mistake.
