Keith,
Slow build is a relative term. My RV-4 empennage arrived in September 1995. I think Rusty has built 3 or 4 airplanes since I started mine. But I hope to be flying before he completes number 5.

Not mandatory of course, particularly if you're in the witness protection
program, or maybe a fugitive :-)
LOL. None of the above Rusty. I am simply a dreamer who dreams that someday I will fly an aircraft that I built myself. Unfortunately I am a builder that has more time than money, (at least I hope I have time) therefore my project is a very slooooooow build project. Say that with a very deep voice and you will know how slow it is. My name is Keith Radcliff and I have been building a RV-7A since the summer of 2001 when my wife decided to buy me the empennage kit for my birthday on 07-13-2001, I truly believe she had no idea what she was getting herself into. I am usually very quiet on this site and only speak up when I have a problem or a question that I cannot answer myself, however I take advantage of all the knowledge that is shared on this site, thank you all. Some of you may or may not recall a while back when I posted a few messages about a problem I had with an engine mount supplier that I will not go into detail about. It is in the past and we must all move on. At
the present time I had some questions that I needed answered so I posted a few. I may duplicate this pattern of on again off again participation many times. Not only because I am building very slow, but because I am also studying for my BS in Environmental Management, this not only takes a significant amount of my financial resources but also much of my time. When I started this project I had a goal of 3 years to finish, that goal of 3 years soon became 5 years. Well 5 years has come and gone and my project is still not finished. However I would like to end in saying that even if it takes me 20 years to complete my project, I will fly this airplane.

You are correct. My housing is non turbo, however the engine is assembled
therefore I will not be using this port for my oil supply to my re-drive
although this is a very good spot. Thanks for all you input.
You're welcome. BTW, what aircraft are you planning to put this in?
Also, we're a pretty informal group, and generally on a first name basis, so
consider signing your name so we'll know who we're talking to.
Cheers,
Rusty (getting way behind on the RV-3)
