New EX-2 builder Saying Hello!

[David H]

Hello CubCrafters forums!
I just ordered a EX-2 kit and the box is being shipped tomorrow. I and am excited for the project and flying such a great machine in the future.
Two years ago, my pilot friend took me to Oshkosh (I had never been). He was contemplating a kit at the time and we were very actively looking at all the kit options. He saved the CubCrafters display for last, saying "these guys really have the best cub kit". While at their booth we were invited to go for a ride that evening.
Smart move CubCrafters!
Chris Cater (sales for my area) took me up, and that was that. I was hooked.
My friend now owns a C172, and never bought a kit. (he will help build mine!)
I am in Michigan. I fly my Cirrus out of Pontiac MI (KPTK) and Antrim County Bellaire MI (KACB). I have my instrument, commercial and tailwheel.
I've talked with several CC guys who have been very helpful. Also reading Chuck and Ryan's build on Supercub.org (plus other cub builds there) has been very interesting.
I will be doing Stewarts for paint (Thanks to Troy for the excellent tips and video) to minimize the health issue with the PolyFiber paint.
Thanks in advance, I am sure I will have many questions.
David

Really look forward to seeing the progress. Congratulations.

Great news! It is a fun project. Don't be shy to ask questions...there is no such thing as stupid questions either. Sometimes a simple answer is all you need to get you over the hump in the build. Have fun.

Hope your having fun with the kit, if you are ever in Grand Rapids get ahold of me, we are at 08C, just made the first flight on ours this week.

Chris,
Thanks! Your plane looks great!
You were kind enough to have me out one evening a couple of years back and that helped in me deciding to move forward with purchasing the kit.
I may want to stop by again to see your plane and pick your brain once I've gotten some further in to the building process.

You have a really excellent DAR in Pontiac MI. His name is Ted Gauthier. He just inspected my EX last week. Very professional and helpful.

Another Michigan builder here. Just starting on my project. I have had a Sport Cub for a couple of years. This should be fun.
