Greetings Friends!

Well, after two and a half years of building, I’m finally building the blog!  I’m Dave of Tom and Dave and we are building a 2 seater experimental airplane.  Since there are thousands of these planes flying, I believe it is more accurate to say we are assembling an aircraft.  This is an aluminum design, with a standard aircraft engine with a cruise speed in the 180mph range (we hope). The plane is a Van’s Aircraft RV-9A. This is an aluminum, two-seater side-by-side cross-country plane with a 160 hp engine.  Check out the factory at www.vansaircraft.com

So, how does all this start?  With a little aluminum.
