Time to build an RV-12

For Christmas this year I decided to build an RV-12.  Two weeks ago I sent in my order for the Empennage kit.  Last week Vans said it was in crating and should be shipping soon.  I hope to see it before the New Year.
Last week I ordered the RV-12 tool kit from Cleveland Aircraft Tools.  In addition, I ordered a new Band Saw and a new corded drill.  All this has arrived and I am ready to start as soon as I get my kit.

This is the first airplane that I have built.  This blog is just for those of you interested in watching my progress.  Please do not assume that I know more about this than the experts.  I don't want to be responsible for your mistake.
