UK kit builders' news group

[Akos]

Is there a NG for home builders in the UK? free.uk.aviation.home-build
seems to be dead and other similar groups seem to be US focussed.

Been playing with the idea of building a VANS RV9, I'm sure there are a
few of these being built in the UK. Would be great to see one in progress...

Anyone knows a NG or forum where such people gather on-line?

Thanks,
Akos

Hello Akos,

in Australia there is a yahoo groups newsgroup that is devoted
specifically to RV builders, that may be of interest to you.

But having read subsequent posts............it seems Iain knows the UK
equivalent..........

Hi Ben,

Thanks!

At the minute I'm trying to figure out if I should engage in such a
major undertaking (committment issues :-)). But first of all I need to
figure out if my garage is large enough for such a beast (and if so,
whether the door is wide enough to get the fuselage out once assembled).
Practical things like that. I'll look around these forums in the weekend.

Thanks, again - for all!

Akos,

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but your best place to
start looking would probably be the bulletin board on the PFA website.
http://www.pfa.org.uk/ and follow the links. If nothing else, you'll
find other RV builders and they can direct you to their group website.
