>builder's hanger at the Hillsboro airport.  Good group of 
>guys.  Mostly RV builders since it is Van's home Chapter, but they 
>also have several "composite" guys how seemed very knowledgeable 
>about working with composites.  They said no matter what I choose 
>they would be more than willing to help.  Most of them knew very 
>little about the Velocity and the RV/metal guys seemed to be a 
>little apprehensive about composite work.  In fact the host builder

>composite work required for the RV-10 (the top half of the fuselage, 
>fairings and some smaller parts are all composite).  All and all it 
>was a very informative meeting.

>Goods news, I was able to trade into to a 4day trip that has a long

>Once again thanks for the help.
