E- M a il EAA's Certification Kit Is Great Just got my RV-7 airworthiness certificate recently…in part due to EAA's certification kit that I bought several years ago. I followed it to the letter and did not get one thing sent back from the local FAA office. It was a breeze! Thanks. I will highly recommend that kit to anyone getting ready for their FAA inspection. John Brunke EAA 482258 Congratulations on getting your airworthiness certificate, John. Good luck with your flight testing. The EAA Amateur-Built Certification Kit can be ordered online here. – Ed. Suggestions for Improvement I've been reading Experimenter online since Pat Panzera produced it. It's a good production. However, reading online requires a different effort compared to reading a paper copy. Here are a couple suggestions that I think would smooth out some issues: 1. Seems the text of articles is a gray color; contrast is not the best. I suggest making the text black. 1. The little "page-turner" icon pops up at the right or left side of the page, except when the page contains a full-page advertisement. Then, the hidden toolbar at the top of the page has to be found to turn the page. I have too often clicked on the ad, which takes me to places that I don't want to go. Can you put the page-turner icon on the edges of full-page ads, too? Thanks for your consideration. Tom Hubbuch EAA 153061 Thanks for your kind comments, Tom. We'll take a look at changing the text to black or a darker gray. As for the page-turner icon, I'm not sure we can change that, but we'll certainly check into it. – Ed.

Most of the work done on my RV-12 prior to landing gear attachment was done using my dining room area and kitchen. This included tail cone, wings and fuselage. Tail cone was finished in the living room area and hung from the cathedral ceiling until it was time to move the project out of the house. Attached are some pictures you might use.
