Keen to speak or meet people building an aircraft

Post by Domswinfield » Sat Feb 23, 2013 1:04 pm

Hello All,

I am very keen to meet people that are building an aircraft preferably a Vans style plane. I have been hankering after building an aeroplane for a few years now and am trying to see if I have the space, knowledge and aptitude to see this through. If you are building something and live anywhere in London or Kent please do get in touch. Look forward to hopefully meeting new like minded people.

Hi Dominic

I know one who is building a Vans and one who has, both in Kent. One might see this board anyway (Brian knows of whom I speak!) and I could ask the other if he's open to visitors.

Sorry Dominic I missed this thread and as I live in Kent I can probably help. Gary Smith, who is one of the guys who run the Working in Aluminium LAA courses, built an RV9 is just the chap you need to speak to. We are based at Farthing Corner airstrip, just off the M2. Drop me an email at [email protected] or call me on 01795 662508 and we can arrange something.
