Karl, Dolly, Ancestors, Progeny and Activities
Since returning from Oshkosh we have been working almost constantly getting the barn ready for the aircraft build. It was packed full of several generations keepsakes, mementos and items too valuable to discard.
A garage sale and family relocation disposed of enough stuff to permit sealing and painting of the floor to begin.
Camping with friends
Dolly and I drove our Roadtrek RV to Airventure rather than fly the Swift so as to not be distracted from our prime focus on Vans RV building information. It also allowed us to camp with over twenty others from Dalton Airport (3DA), our home airport. We were the first of our group to arrive on Thursday before the convention
. The site in Ed’s Campground adjacent to the airport and just off the end of the ultralight runway was gorgeous.
A Surprise Decision

Vans shipped the RV-7 preview plans yesterday. I’ve been reading everything I can find about construction. Hope for a ride at Oshkosh.

Plans arrived. Is that the beginning of an RV Grin?
This is the Michigan pole barn that is being converted into the RV-7 construction site. Today I completed a pad and cover for our 20 gal air compressor to sit outside the barn. There is still much cleaning to do before it is ready to receive the quickbuild wings and fuselage next spring.
