[rebel-builders] New joiners

[N.Smith]

Hi Tim and Mike
Welcome to the group.
There's always plenty of help on hand here and in the archive if you have a
problem. A picture is worth a thousand words as well so the archive is a
great help.
I'm partway through an Elite, fuselage and tail almost finished, and working
on the wings now. Amphib floats arriving early summer next year.

Thanks, Wayne.

Two days ago I received a packet from Murphy Aircraft telling us that we
have been assigned serial number 808R. With that I figure that it is time to
do a small introduction of us to the group.
I am Tim Hickey, and I live in Montrose, Iowa. My brother, Mike, lives in
Keokuk, Iowa. Keokuk and Montrose are about 10 miles apart, and both are on
the Mississippi River. If you are looking on a map, we are in the extreme
southeastern part of Iowa.

We are going to jointly build a Murphy Rebel and intend to fly it as Sport
Pilots. We think that there is some advantage to that for the future. I am
almost 62, (61 and 5/8th) and am a retired engineer. My brother, who is
younger,and thus has to work, is a contractor in Keokuk, (Hickey Contracting
Co) specializing in concrete paving, foundations, and the such.

We are not totally green when it comes to building, as I have built and
still fly a Zenith CH-300. This machine was built from plans in 1983, 84,
85, 86, 87, with the first flight in 1988. (We hope that this one goes
quicker) I have about 1700 hours on the Zenith now, and it has proven to be
a fine and rugged machine.

I apologize in advance for asking some of those same "newbie" questions that
most of you old time listers have heard before, but that is the way things
work.

I would like to ask that any member of this list who is willing, to please
send me, to my own email address, your name, your location, and what project
you have, and how far along you are on it.
I ask that because in the future I just know that I am going to want to ask
one or two persons a particular question, and I can do that directly with
out "burdening" the list with a lot of info that may be old hat to the
regular members.
Plus I am interested in where people are located. I have already found some
interesting people in Australia. (You know who you are, Rick, Ian, John, and
Ivor.) (Sorry Ivor). (Ivor is in New Zealand.)

The internet, and this list, will be a big asset when we finally get to
building. (No, we do not have a deliverly date). I will try to add to the
dialogue as appropriate, and hope that others will do the same for me.
My email is

tjhickey@iowatelecom.net

Thanks.
