Default Builder wanted

Trying to find a builder for Dave Norman's kit Snaker for the spare Viper wing I have. Anyone have contact info for Dave?

Anyone interested in building and covering one? Thanks in advance.

That would be me, I'd love to build one myself, but have limited shop access right now.

I have one partially built right now.. They go together well.. Pretty much framed up in a couple nights.. The only reason the one I have is only partially built is that I haven't been home enough to work on it the last few weeks.. Maybe I'll get it finished up this weekend.. It's a long winter up here so I'm not really in any hurry..

I would build and cover for you. If you are interested PM me and we can talk. I have built one Seeker and two Hurrikanes this year. They all needed weight added. I can send you pics if you want.

Don't worry Lee, in a very short while, I'm gonna give you PLENTY of building to do... I hope epoxy will cure in the Wisconsin winters.

I can build it for you but I'm in Guatemala. I've built a couple of seekers and 4 or 5 hurricanes, plus other pylons.... If you're interested email me to [email protected]

Just a word of warning. This first batch of Snakers are prototypes, I have not seen a cut model yet. They are being sold at barely over our cost just to get them out for feedback.

Nearly every first run of kits has minor issues, I"m not sure what they may be, just letting you know so your not dissapointed. It shouldn't be anything that can't be worked through, typically its minor fit or size differences.

14 degrees?! isn't this where us southerners chime in annually and start commenting about how warm it still is?

I didn't mind the 19 degrees (it was actually a couple degrees warmer down here), but the nearly two inches of near white out snow that hit on my drive home last night.

You wouldn't have wanted to hear what your daughter had to say after hearing that
