Well, I just put a deposit down on a series 7SS!! Excited is a complete understatement!! The current delivery time for the kit is approx one year. That's fine with me as this will be my first build and I want to use the time to take some weekend workshops from EAA and get my garage and work area ready for the build. I also joined my local EAA chapter as I know that will be an invaluable source of information for me. I am a fairly seasoned pilot, ATP, 2500 hours, CFIIME, but I have never owned or built a kit airplane. I have a three car garage and no need to store any of our vehicles inside, so I have plenty of space. I could use any suggestions on how to set up shop and what type of tools and shop equipment I should invest in to make the build go as smoothly and easily as possible. I also don't work full time so I'm going to be able to put as much time as I can handle into this project. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!!
